About the Author:
The Unbearables are a downtown New York City drinking collective with a writing problem. This is their fourth anthology with Autonomedia, following the inaugural Unbearables anthology, Help Yourself! (a send-up of self-help books), and Crimes of the Beats.
Review:
The Unbearables bare all; they are unbearably smart, unbearably talented, and unbearably lively but here are the Unbearables at their highly bearable best. It s a pleasure to find out what this group finds unbearable in such an engaging manner. --Samuel Delany, author of Dark Reflections
From stapling together issues of the National Poetry Magazine Of The Lower Eastside at CBGBs in the mid 80s, to the publication of the Unbearables, Crimes of the Beats, Help Yourself! and now The Worst Book I Ever Read anthologies, the Unbearables have doggedly held onto their collective ideal, punk irreverence, and endless store of creative energy. It s like the Disneyfication of downtown New York never happened. --Brandon Stosuy, editor of Up Is Up, But So Is Down
The Unbearables are a bunch of cranks, crackpots, malcontents, misanthropes,ass-pains and brain-aches. Bless their sour pusses. --John Strausbaugh, author of Sissy Nation and Black Like You
