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.

"Part long-form punk 'zine, part philosophical stand-up, Brian M. Clark's Drunk Jerk is a huge collection of his essays, travelogues, artwork, and interviews he conducted throughout his youth. If you enjoy pointing and laughing (or even shaking your fist) at the comedy of errors that much of the world trips itself into, this should be a fun read."

"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 cornucopia of experience. Part coming-of-age reportage, part artistic critique, part travelogue, part primal scream against the absurdities of life – each article in Brian M. Clark's new collection blips back to us like a distant star's light, from a time when the internet was still fun and life hadn't been irreparably fucked by smartphones and social media. For anyone with any interest in what life was like pre-2010, this book is both valuable resource material and a rampaging celebration of art, youth, and strongly held opinion."

"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, interviews, 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."

"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 allows the reader to sit shotgun as he veers his way through hapless academia, international misadventure, and wholesale misanthropy."

"With his new book, Drunk Jerk, Brian M. Clark has collected his brilliant insights, witty, cynical broadsides, articles, and interviews. ... Drunk Jerk is a great book to read straight through or, additionally, perfect reading material for those quiet commode moments that we all enjoy. ... It's also great for the in-laws or other unwanted house guests; once they start reading it, they can't stop, and you aren't forced to engage in ridiculously stupid fucking banter that we all despise. Get this book for the entertainment value and for shutting up unwanted visitors; it works every time."
