The greatest writer you've never heard of, self-proclaimed voice of a generation, and adept commentator on the state of the social and political fabric of the American character at the awakening of the 21st Century. He is also the most accomplished North American author who still sleeps on a mattress placed directly on the floor.
The Book or Bust 'I read close to 300 pages of it yesterday. I've never read 300 pages of anything in a single day, so that was new. I also checked Amazon and noticed that he only has four- and five-star reviews so I won't embarrass myself by telling you how great it is... I got the book on Monday and here was my first reaction: Jesus Christ, this guy is only 26!!'

Senceless Pie "It's funny and weird and clever and very entertaining."
The Web Town Observer "I love this guy's writing. Smart, funny. I could go on, but I'd be wasting your time &mdash you reading this post when you could be reading Steve Markley's book."
Words From Ward "The book is also hilarious. If you like smartass humor thrown at you (and I know you do), you'll enjoy Publish This Book."
Las Vegas Weekly "It's the most self-indulgent, self-absorbed, self-congratulatory memoir I've ever read... and I'm loving every minute of it."
Interview Stephen Markley on the Daily Show "We hereby request that you interview Chicago author and self-described 'voice of his generation' Stephen Markley.
