How to Piss in Public: From Teenage Rebellion to the Hangover of Adulthood

When I started this book I was apprehensive. As much as I love Gavin’s current incarnation as a wild libertarian/conservative provocateur, I knew this wasn’t going to be a collection of political essays. Rather, it’s a memoir documenting his sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll filled early years, and, given his propensity to shock and offend, I wasn’t looking forward to reading about weird sex, self-inflicted STDs and the titular pissing in public. While the book is loaded with plenty of cringe-worthy anecdotes, Gavin is an astute storyteller who knows how to keep his readers invested, engaged and laughing all the way as he drags us through the muck.
