â€œEnclosed in this beautiful package, please find: an agile mind, a perfect style, a canny and undeceivable heart, and a welcome, enduring presence in the readerâ€™s life.â€ --Michael Chabon

A portrait of a keen social observer at the center of the last 50 years of cultural life, captured through a vivid selection of Oâ€™Brienâ€™s own writings on music to fashion to downtown art and, just as importantly and unexpectedly, the political temperature of America.

Glenn Oâ€™Brien collaborated with visual artists, writers, fashion houses, and musicians throughout his almost 50-year career. Intelligence for Dummies gathers Glenn Oâ€™Brienâ€™s essays, aphorisms and tweets, to create a portrait of the artist as cultural bellwether, complimented by artwork and photographs from his collaborators. A full color, hardcover edition, Intelligence for Dummies is a deeply personal aperÃ§u into Patti Smith and Jean Michel Basquiatâ€™s New York, and the culture of money that ensued. It also reveals Oâ€™Brienâ€™s incisive and prescient understanding of Americaâ€™s political culture, and of our current president.
