The Advice King Anthology: The Advice King Anthology

Overview

Since the fall of 2014, The Advice King has been one of the most widely read sections of alt-weekly the Nashville Scene. The Advice King Anthology contains the best of those columns, with new In-the-Meantime notes, a new introduction, and a foreword by writer Tracy Moore. If you are looking for traditional advice, this might not be the book for you. But if you care to find the incendiary, subversive, and hilarious alongside actual thoughts about addiction, depression, gentrification, politics, poetry, music, economic policy, living in New Nashville, and (inevitably) romance, the Advice King has much to offer.

Reviews

Full of disarming affection for pop culture, a chronicling of the work of self-care, and a sneaky thread of moral heft woven throughout. In his writing mode, Chris Crofton is equal parts Heather Havrilesky, Wendell Berry, and Bojack Horseman. --David Dark, author of The Possibility of America I don't make any financial decisions without first consulting the Advice King. --Jim James, My Morning Jacket My ADVICE? Buy this f**KING book! --Neil Hamburger, comedian There is no one on the planet like my friend Chris Crofton. This is going to be the first book I ever read and I hope it ruins my life! Chris is a cold-brew oracle. --Jamie Loftus, writer, comedian, and host of the My Year in Mensa podcast
