ALEX KAZEMI

Alex Kazemi is a Vancouver-based author and screenwriter. His critically acclaimed debut novel New Millennium Boyz — a dissection of Y2K masculinity and a satire of the “extreme teen” genre — is now being adapted into a feature film by Muse, the production company behind American Psycho and Spring Breakers. The book was hit with a content warning and briefly censored by his publisher, but has since been released in a new, uncensored paperback edition (check it out here). This Spring, he hosted a sold-out NYC literary event at The Strand, followed by a Kelly Cutrone-produced afterparty, which landed him on the front page of Page Six. A few summers back, Madonna read aloud a passage from his occult book Pop Magick to Steven Klein in a black-and-white video posted to her official Instagram. Even Bret Easton Ellis calls him his “favorite millennial provocateur.” He also just appeared on How Long Gone podcast, and you can listen here. Lucky for us, Alex’s here to tell us what he’s been into.
