Esquire writer Mike Sager discusses Revenge of the Donut Boys: True Stories of Lust, Fame, Survival and Multiple Personality, in which he profiles bigger-than-life characters. Whether revealing Roseanne Barr's multiple-personality disorder or celebrating the life of a high school student on the edge of adulthood, Sager's narrative nonfiction can be compared to that of Sebastian Junger and Jonathan Krakauer. The Emory University graduate and former Creative Loafing intern has been called "the beat poet of American journalism: that rare reporter who can make literature out of shabby reality."
