Over forty interviews and essays with leading cultural icons who have unique ways of critiquing "the system" with humor and ingenuity. Dazzling deceptions and provocative put-ons from some of the most outrageous artists and personalities . Spontaneous, improvised craziness from the Underground in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles and points in between. From artists, Bruce Conner and Mark Pauline to radical organizer/writer, Abbie Hoffman, to performance artists Karen Finley and Harry Kipper (and the list goes on) -- the interviewees each have a quirky and distinctive way of commenting on life. Here are an exhaustive number of anecdotes and philosophies, heavily illustrated with photographs and clippings from their travails. A prank is a trick, a mischievous act, and a ludicrous act. Although not regarded as poetic or artistic acts, pranks constitute an art form and genre. In Pranks! , classic pranksters such as Monte Cazazza, Jello Biafra, Joe Coleman, Henry Rollins, John Waters and Henry Rollins challenge the sovereign authority of words, images and behavioral convention.
