With an introduction by Russell Brand.
Jon Ronson is an award-winning nonfiction writer and documentary maker. He is the author of four bestsellers, Them: Adventures with Extremists, The Men Who Stare at Goats, The Psychopath Test and Lost at Sea: The Jon Ronson Mysteries, and two collections, Out of the Ordinary: True Tales of Everyday Craziness and What I Do: More True Tales of Everyday Craziness. His latest book is the short story Frank: The True Story that Inspired the Movie. His first fictional screenplay, Frank, co-written with Peter Straughan, has been directed by Lenny Abrahamson and stars Michael Fassbender. He lives in London and New York City.
This book is chilling and hilarious by turns. Ronson’s trademark
laid-back attitude is a delight.
*Independent*
A funny and compulsively readable picaresque adventure through a
paranoid shadow world.
*Guardian*
A funny, superbly controlled account of Ronson's wanderings through
the wonderland of fanaticism and delusion . . . The result is high
comedy
*New Statesman*
Often entertaining, more often disturbing . . . Ronson has gotten
closer to these people than any journalist I can think of
*New York Times*
The strength of Ronson's book is that it reminds us not only that
extremists are weird but also that their fantasies take sustenance
from the real world
*Sunday Telegraph*
