Hard Core Logo, first published in 1992, is an epistolary novel acclaimed for its realistic depiction of the life of a punk rock band. Consisting of monologues, conversations, letters, interviews, photographs, and related paraphernalia, Hard Core Logo tells the story of Joe Dick, an unrepentant, true-blue punk rocker whose scarred ideals are renewed when his band reunites for one last shot at rock ‘n’ roll glory. Hard Core Logo was made into a feature film in 1996; a sequel went into production in February 2010. Michael Turner’s other novels include The Pornographer’s Poem (Soft Skull Press).
