Jim Dawson is a former editor of Hustler magazine and the author of a dozen books on everything from early rock ’n’ roll to a history of the “mother” of all dirty words. He has also written liner notes for more than one hundred blues albums. Dawson lives in Hollywood, California.
“Did Somebody Step on a Duck? captures the universality of
flatulence, combining scholarly diligence with scatological
delight. Jim Dawson is indeed the King of Farts.”
—Paul Krassner, stand-up comedian and author of Who’s to Say What’s
Obscene?
