Mike Edison is a genuine rock’n’roll renaissance man who explores the boundaries of free speech, sexuality, and the American counterculture. As a former editor and publisher of High Times and editor-in-chief of Screw, Edison is characterized by his audacity and provocative approach to writing. His works, whether novels, memoirs, or social histories, often delve into the underbelly of American society, but always with incredible wit and irony. Edison's style is as eclectic as his interests, ranging from music criticism and biographies to culinary collaborations, making him a unique storyteller who celebrates both the lowbrow and the literate aspects of the human experience.
