RODGER JACOBS has been a journalist for Eye magazine, Hustler, Wireless Week, Michel Berandi’s Panik, Razor, High Society, and E Commerce Business News, among others, a feature documentary writer and producer, screenwriter, playwright (Go Irish: The Purgatory Diaries of Jason Miller), true crime writer (Long Time Money and Lots of Cocaine), freelance book critic, and live event producer.
In 2005, Rodger’s original essay, Running with the Wolves: Jack London and the Cult of Masculinity, was added to the permanent collection of Jack London research at the U.C. Berkeley digital archives, the largest repository of Jack London research in the world, sanctioned by the late author’s estate.
Mr. Bukowski’s Wild Ride (2008), a collection of original short stories, was hailed by critic and novelist Henry Baum (The Golden Calf) as “a strange (fictional) biography of Bukowski … in which you get a real sense of how he breathed and moved … a totally unique take on the man that he probably wouldn’t have had the gall to write himself.”
Presently, Jacobs writes and develops special projects for Roy Orbison Records and he pens a popular monthly book column, The Deconstruction Zone, for Pop Matters, an international magazine of cultural criticism with over 1 million unique readers per month.
