Jim Goad's brief career as an underground celebrity has been studded with controversy, from an obscenity trial over a much-reviled 'rape issue' of his online magazine, to a White House shooting in which the perpetrator quoted Goad's writing, to a two-and-a-half-year stint in prison for assault. Shit Magnet is his manifesto, written while he was incarcerated. The book's theme is guilt how the act of blaming the enemy and slaying him is history's propulsive force. Preferring the role of 'shit magnet' to 'pity sponge, ' he explores the disabling effects of guilt; uncovers sinister forces behind fashionable stances on race, gender, and criminal justice; and offers his own life as an example of how 'evil' can be imprinted on a person from an early age. Goad is the former publisher of the legendary zine Answer Me! and the author of The Redneck Manifesto.
