F14 - RE/SEARCH PRANKS! | V. Vale and Andrea Juno (RE/Search #11)

A definitive cult classic, this volume chronicles the history of the "practical joke" as a radical form of performance art and social disruption. It features firsthand accounts from legendary mischief-makers and subversives including Abbie Hoffman, Jello Biafra, Timothy Leary, John Waters, and Mark Pauline of Survival Research Laboratories. From the Situationist-style media hacks of The Yes Men precursors to the dadaist antics of Devo and Karen Finley, this book is a hilarious and dangerous blueprint for using humor as a weapon against the status quo.This book is sold by Underworld Amusements as "used" and should be considered in Good condition or better unless otherwise noted.
