Overview

From the award-winning author of Purple Bananas comes a confessional memoir like no other. An unflinching chronicle of sin, vice, bad behavior – and their consequences – Mr Fantastic Bastard is an affectionate memoir that examines the traumas of adoption and child abuse and how those forces can still haunt and hurt decades later. Join Jason Webber on his crazy journey through life … Mr. Fantastic Bastard.

What the Critics Are Saying:

"Mr. Fantastic Bastard, Jason Webber's account of his sex-obsessed, misogynistic past is not a pretty story by any means, but it has to be, hands down, one of the most honest memoirs ever written." -- Donald Ray Pollock, author of The Devil All the Time and Knockemstiff

"With Mr. Fantastic Bastard, Mr. Webber provides an intense, funny, raw, sexy, vulnerable, brutal, hilarious, intelligent, unforgiving, honest account of his tales of glory and tales of woe of daily life put into the written word. This book gives an insight into the daily life, happenings, good times and struggle for one of Ohio's premier cultural critics." -- Dr. Matthew Donahue, Department of Popular Culture, Bowling Green State University

"There are no fantastic bastards, only bastards. Do better, Toledo." -- KW
