I'm the co-author with Matt Hughes of his autobiography Made in America. I'm also the Editor of Worst Email Ever and Overheard At College (founding editor of Overheard in New York) and subject of Harvey Pekar's Ego & Hubris: The Michael Malice Story .
"A sociopathic jerk...A guy we all really want to hate but can't."
Wired
"The way Michael deals with teachers, employers, and other 'authority figures' is both hilarious and inspirational."
Laissez Faire Books
"A jerk who boasts about his flair for verbal cruelty...For Malice, it's all me, me, me, and I'm better than everyone else...Honest, scrupulous, and smart."
Booklist
"Pekar's portrayal might leave you wondering whether the guy is in fact fully human. But Michael Malice wouldn't care."
Time Out NY
"A geeky egotist."
Papermag
"Michael might be a little too smart for his own good--quick to reject conventional wisdom and common sense in favor of an intellectual rigidity that puts him in a league with the likes of Ayn Rand."
Kirkus
"A slacker genius."
GQ
"A superiority complex both repellent and compelling... You'd probably think twice about having a drink with Malice." A
Entertainment Weekly
"As the hero of his own life, Michael Malice offers readers a new standard to live by."
Santa Cruz Sentinel
"Not so much the face of evil as the face of jackassery... Mesmerizing."
Village Voice
"A visionary web pioneer."
Huffington Post
"One of New York's smartest, yet most baffling, creative souls."
Gothamist
"Genius boy."
Jossip
"A fairly streetwise geek of frightening intelligence...Malice has endless energy for pointing out the faults in others."
