Soft Skull

Soft Skull Press (mentioned below) is the subject of a documentary, Horns and Halos, which I discussed briefly on my personal blog last June.

The documentary chronicles what had been Soft Skull's most famous title: Fortunate Son, the quite unauthorized G.W. Bush bio that alleged a former cocaine rap but was pulled off shelves (and republished by Soft Skull) when unsavory details emerged regarding the author's own criminal history.

I think their real name sums up their soft-headed outlook nicely enough.

I thought it was great….surely there are still copies of ‘Fortunate Son’ still available….?
