JAMESBURG, N.J.—EdenFantasys.com welcomes Paul Krassner—satirist, author, columnist, comedian and more—to the Eden Community Interview.
Krassner is the founder of The Realist magazine, co-founder of the Yippies with Abbie Hoffman and Jerry Rubin, editor of Lenny Bruce’s biography, one-time editor of Hustler, and publisher of the legendary Disneyland Memorial Orgy (featuring the Disney characters engaging in a bacchanalian sex spree after Walt died and they were free of their master, which you can buy a print of on his website, PaulKrassner.com)
Paul has authored several books; his most recent collections are Who's to Say What's Obscene: Politics, Culture and Comedy in America Today, with a foreword by Arianna Huffington; In Praise of Indecency: Dispatches From the Valley of Porn; and One Hand Jerking: Reports From an Investigative Satirist, with a foreword by Harry Shearer and an introduction by Lewis Black. Krassner recently discussed some of these in his Naked Reader author profile over on SexIs Magazine.
Krassner continues to write and has no plans to sit back idly watching. At 78 years old, he currently blogs for the Huffington Post and writes columns for High Times and AVN.
Readers can ask any question they wish, until June 16—either by logging into an Eden account or via Facebook Connect. All subjects are on the table: comedy and satire, political protest, conspiracy, counterculture icons, alternative media, sexuality, pornography, psychedelic revolution, writing, censorship, religion, absurdity, and the war on some people who use some drugs. He’s got stories to tell and opinions to share.
