A Little Remote from Reality

by Joshua Harmon

"Punk. Kojak. Cartoons. The year is 1977 and the world is getting ripped up. Combining elements of true crime, cultural critique, punk journalism, and his own upbringing, Joshua Harmon punches his way through the many iterations of violence. Whether through visual media or induced via one's ear drums, violence and it's aftermath, lingers in our minds like a stubbornly catchy riff. Want a deeper understanding why? You got to read A Little Remote From Reality, baby."
