The definitive biography of the pioneering independent filmmaker and cultural icon Russ Meyer.
Jimmy McDonough is the author of The Ghastly One- The Sex-Gore Netherworld of Filmmaker Andy Milligan and Shakey- Neil Young's Biography. As a journalist he has contributed to such publications as Variety, Film Comment, Mojo, Spin and Jugg. But he is perhaps best known for his intense, definitive Village Voice profiles of such artists as Jimmy Scott, Neil Young and Hubert Selby, Jr.
"A very funny, brave book about an artist who deserves to be remembered and enjoyed" Guardian "McDonough polishes every wacky, wicked facet of Meyer as a redneck rough diamond" The Times "Russ Meyer's vision was of a hyperactive world occupied by isolated, inadequate men in thrall to overendowed, voracious women. Jimmy McDonough's book is written in such wonderfully bad taste that he has remained true to that crazed vision" Independent on Sunday "Incredibly revealing" -- John Waters Playboy "McDonald never flinches from the uncomfortable truths" Uncut
