CENSORSHIP NOW!!

by Ian F. Svenonius
An uproarious new essay collection from Washington, DC's infamous cult music hero and satirist.

Forthcoming from Akashic Books today, November 3, 2015.

Svenonius-once the "sassiest boy in America" (Sassy magazine, 1990) and now "the most interesting man in rock and roll" (The Washington Post, 2014)-once again brings his laser-sharp eye and infamous wit to the page in this collection of cultural comments, touching on such cultural touchstones as IKEA, Apple, vampires, Heathers, and hoarding.
