Fork on the Left, Knife in the Back is the latest
zippy collection of columns and essays from Michael Musto,
the popular columnist for The Village Voice and a
mouthy groundbreaker who takes no prisoners. This collection
zooms in on Musto’s favorite celebrities to punk (Sean
Combs, Paris Hilton); New York’s most debauched and amusing
nightlife experiences; and Musto’s own odysseys, as he talks
about the art of TV whoring and the allure of kinky sex,
pausing to don drag to imagine what it must be like to be
him as Lindsay Lohan as Marilyn Monroe. Stopping for some
actual appreciation, the section titled "Weirdos Are My
Heroes" celebrates the oddballs and entertainers who’ve
elevated the culture, shockingly including Jerry Springer
and Sarah Silverman. The book also features an introduction
written by Musto, as well as new pieces on universal fame in
the new-media age, the state of the celebrity closet, and
the appeal of blind gossip items.
