The Rumpus Interview with Madison Young
Manjula Martin · May 3rd, 2012
Bondage star and filmmaker Madison Young had the best job title in the world: “sexual revolutionary.” She earns it as a director, porn star, artist, sex educator, and all-around fierce lady whose life work happens to center on being tied up and dominated, usually on camera. …more

The Rumpus Interview with Lynda Barry
Anne Elizabeth Moore · April 22nd, 2012
There is a quality that certain historic figures are said to share, a nearly indescribable feeling—not that these figures embody, but that they bring out in whoever they meet. The quality has been called intense charm, and magnetism, but these are both insufficient. …more

The Sunday Rumpus Interview with Lisa Carver
Zoe Zolbrod · February 5th, 2012
I first heard of Lisa Carver in the late 1980s, when we were both about 19 or 20. Performing under the name Lisa Suckdog in shows that involved screeching, screaming, pissing, and violence, she was often spoken of in the same breath with notorious scum-rocker G.G. Allin, …more
New Kid in Town
Cassie J. Sneider · January 31st, 2012
My family moved to Lake Ronkonkoma in February, a time when friendships have already been formed and being the poor, shy new kid doesn’t really have the mystique to attract would-be friends that children’s novels lead you to believe. Instead, I quietly took my seat at the end of the long row of paired desks, kept my head down, and spoke to no one, like a dude just trying to get by in court-ordered rehab. …more
The Rumpus Interview with Jon Adams
Ted Wilson · January 26th, 2012
I had the pleasure of making Jon Adams’ acquaintance several years ago when we met through our mutual friend Ryan Montbleau. Soon after, Jon moved from Boston to San Francisco, and we maintained our friendship via mail. I was happy to get a chance to talk to him on the phone so we could discuss the ten year anniversary of his Truth Serum comic, Hitler, terrorism, and suicide. …more
The Rumpus Interview with Momus
Marie Calloway · January 24th, 2012
Since the early 1980’s, the 51 year old Scottish musician/writer/provocateur Nicholas Currie, better known as Momus, has been releasing music (his latest album, Hypnoprism, was his 18th) to varying levels of critical and commercial success. Since the 1990’s, he has been blogging in various forms, most notably on his old LiveJournal called Click Opera, which Warren Ellis called “probably the best-written blog on the Anglophone web” and of which novelist Dennis Cooper said, “It doesn’t get any better than Click Opera.” …more

Fire Island Flaneurs
Mark Snyder · December 26th, 2011
It starts with the watch, always. Boarding the ferry at the Sayville Harbor on Long Island, I remove my watch and zip it within the special pocket of my duffel. Vacation begins the moment we start the short trek over to the narrow strip of land that stretches thirty miles, just south of the city. …more
