In the grand journalistic tradition of Ambrose Bierce and Herb Caen, for more than 20 years writer Stuart Schuffman has been chronicling life’s adventures as “Broke-Ass Stuart,” a San Francisco everyman perpetually scraping by, living paycheck to paycheck while working an astounding assortment of often surreal gigs and questionable “real” jobs. Among his escapades, he has served and knocked back cocktails in hundreds of seedy local bars, eaten an astonishing number of burritos with the best of ’em, traveled the world on someone else’s dime, and run for mayor of San Francisco, garnering 20,000 votes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Worst of Broke-Ass Stuart\u003c\/i\u003e is an unexpected omnibus comprised of engrossing (and occasionally just plain gross) works from his prodigious output, including thoroughly entertaining pieces that highlight the worst of San Francisco’s corrupt politics and the best of SF’s DIY culture, which originally appeared in the San Francisco \u003ci\u003eExaminer\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Bold Italic\u003c\/i\u003e, and\u003ci\u003e 7x7\u003c\/i\u003e magazine, among other well-known (and obscure) publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA perfect read for anyone who loves San Francisco... or at least loves to hate it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stuart Schuffman","offers":[{"title":"Manic D Press |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2024-11-01","offer_id":45663912198399,"sku":"9781945665448","price":27.5,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_1_eb0da411-338a-45f8-b531-f5aa1760d090.jpg?v=1718385774","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781945665448","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
