The Daring Spectacle is award-winning San Francisco Chronicle/SFGate columnist and culture critic Mark Morford’s hilarious modern record of sex and media, politics and pop culture, love and lust, as told in 92 delectable parts—not including all the delicious photos and terrifying hate mail. The book spans nearly a decade of Mark’s wildest, most popular columns, full of feral wordplay and liberal sorcery with an unexpected spiritual kick. There’s simply nothing else in modern media quite like it. Please undress accordingly.
Stretch: The Unlikely Making of a Yoga Dude is an all-true comic memoir about Neal Pollack’s adventures in American yoga culture and his more or less sincere middle-aged search for his “best self.” There’s much to mock in yoga culture, and Pollack doesn’t hold back in Stretch. Like his other books, this one contains plenty of profanity, drug use and scatological humor. It also describes the subtle but very real transformation that Pollack underwent during his near-decade of yoga practice. In person, he'll consider topics such as:

Regular Guys Doing Yoga—Isn't yoga for dancers, or hot MILFs, or hippies—for anyone, really, but the regular beer-swilling, sports-watching, video-game-playing American dude?
All the Stereotypes about Yoga are True—Reports from the wacky front lines of yoga culture.
The Transformative Power Of Yoga—Into what? A peace-and-love New Age idiot, a societal dropout, a penitent? Pollack's transformation was subtle, yet extremely profound.
