TRAPPED IN THIS WORLD: Pop Culture on the Edge
The Omnibus of Pop Culture Writing by A. J. Payler
I’ve just released a massive (and I mean massive—over 730 pages) compendium of my pop culture journalism titled Trapped in This World: Pop Culture on the Edge, featuring articles on artists like Joy Division, the Monks, Bobby Fuller, Ativin, Del Close, and many many others. It’s been a long time coming and it’s a huge labor of love, but I’m pleased to finally be able to bring this collection to publication and I’m proud to say the final product surpassed my expectations.
