Drunk Jerk is a hodge-podge collection of essays, interviews, photographs, travelogues, artworks, musings, and ephemera from around the early twenty-first century. Compiling and documenting the author's various creative undertakings during the first dozen or so years of his adulthood, the book bounces around from critiques of culture and social issues; to tales of drunken cavorting in Madrid (Spain), Las Vegas (Nevada), and Denver (Colorado); to interviews with musicians, underground publishers, and stage magicians; to various cranky ruminations about the stupidity of paid governmental prayer, Beethoven's miserable sex life, and why pet ownership is selfish, among other topics. Resembling something akin to a book-length 'zine, Drunk Jerk has something to offer everyone; and nothing to offer anyone in particular. More information is available at DrunkJerk.com.

"Irreverent, hilarious, and sometimes snarky—but always entertaining—Brian M. Clark's Drunk Jerk pulls no punches. Pairs well with a fine wine or pint of rotgut."

"Drunk Jerk is a high-octane slalom into Brian M. Clark's lurching swerve into self-aware cynicism, misguided madness, and objective levity. On the twin skis of contempt and curiosity, he ricochets the reader through a gauntlet of twisted ventures, liquor-soaked forays, and jagged catapults over the cliff of reason into the shifting unknown. Clark's command of composition and satire allow the reader to sit shotgun as he veers his way through hapless academia, international misadventure, and wholesale misanthropy. If you are looking for motivation to stop testing life's 'what-ifs' and step into the crosswind, this book is for you."

– Luke Schmaltz, author of

"A fascinating look into one of the brightest minds of Generation Booze. Drunk Jerk is not a confessional; it's an anti-confession. Clark's droll collection of essays, art, and articles not only refuses to offer apologies and regrets; it refreshingly revels in the age-old act of putting alcohol where it belongs – your bloodstream."

– Frank Kelly Rich, author of
   The Modern Drunkard

"Drunk Jerk is an apt title for a book that serves as an appraisal of author Brian M. Clark's former self. It's an over-the-shoulder, sidelong glance at a young adulthood spent in thrall of bacchanalia, revelry, bitter piss-takings, and righteous indignations; a comedy of angst and eloquence that throbs and heaves in lockstep to a thrashing punk-esque tumult.
      As the biting commentaries and sneering editorials in Drunk Jerk redouble, they are deftly punctuated by evocative black-and-white photographs. Reading like 'The Wit and Wisdom of a Hangman's Son,' Clark's viewpoint begins with bleak deadpan as a baseline, and evolves exponentially thereafter, recalling bygone capriciousness and conviviality; at once endearing him to the reader while trying, desperately it seems, to alienate them."
