The Psychic Soviet
“The pocket-sized book—given Svenonius's communism infatuation, the parallel to Mao'sLittle Red Bookis no mistake—contains well-thought out arguments on a variety of subjects from vampires to the origins of punk rock. It's often funny, but never in a self-consciously ironic way.”  —The Washington Post“In a sense the book is Mr. Svenonius's love letter to the good old days of do-it-yourself punk concerts, though it's cleverly disguised as a series of Marxian essays.”  —New York Times“Ian Svenonius has come a long way sinceSassy Magazinefirst dubbed him the "Sassiest Boy in America" in 1991. The D.C. singer has never been anything less than political to the extreme.”  —The Village Voice
