The Lonely Hedonist True Stories of Sex, Drugs, Dinosaurs and Peter Dinklage “For four decades, Mike Sager has been one of our finest practitioners of feature magazine writing, picking up where the New Journalism Gods—Wolfe, Talese, Thompson, et al—left off. This latest trove of Sager’s irresistible brand of social anthropology shows him in peak form, whether writing about celebrities, like J.J. Abrams and Peter Dinklage, or the usual gathering of bonafide American originals that find their way into his stories—a family-owned sex toys factory, a weed doctor, a clown, a man who started an exclusive sex club in Beverly Hills, and more.”–Alex Belth, Editor, EsquireClassic.com Read More >> Read More >>
Stoned Again The High Times and Strange Life of a Drugs Correspondent “In Stoned Again, Mike Sager refers to himself as a ‘drugs correspondent,’ but that’s legitimately humble smoke that belies what’s really going on here. While there’s plenty of weed, heroin, shrooms, and crack (not to mention plenty of Rick James, bitch) in these pages, what is most evident on every page is the remarkable reporting, empathy, craftsmanship, and storytelling that have rightly placed Mike Sager among the journalistic legends of our time.”–Maximillian Potter, author, Shadows in the Vineyard Read More >> Read More >>
High Tolerance A Novel of Sex, Race, Celebrity, Murder… and Marijuana “The wry and knowing Mike Sager has written a saucy and kinetic L.A. novel. Celebrity gets fully toasted in this engaging romp about show business and the clash of cultures high and low, where the talk is tough before the shooting starts. The spotlight, it seems, can sometimes be a very dark place.”–Ron Carlson, author, Return to Oakpine, co-director, MFA Program in Fiction Writing, University of California, Irvine.
