The Freaks Came Out To Write

The Definitive History of the Village Voice, the Radical Paper that Changed American Culture

A rollicking history of America’s most iconic weekly newspaper told through the voices of its legendary writers, editors, and photographers.

“[A] well-made disco ball of a book — it’s big, discursive, ardent, intellectual and flecked with gossip. “The Freaks Came Out to Write” may be the best history of a journalistic enterprise I’ve ever read.”
―Dwight Garner, The New York Times
