About Me |
|
| Ever wanted to ask Van Gogh about the whole ear episode or Beethoven for his take on “American Idol”? How about Napoleon about his complex, or if Frida might consider a brow wax? Here’s your chance!In The Dead Guy Interviews (Oct. 2007, Penguin Group USA), modern-day journalist Michael Stusser chats with the most famous personalities of all-time, asking them probing and illuminating questions about their lives, accomplishments, and what’s on their iPods.
www.michaelstusser.com"Michael Stusser's The Dead Guy Interviews is a funny, educational way to get to know almost fifty of history's late greats. Finally, a way to talk to the dead without all that tedious messing around with seances or grave robbery!"--Ken Jennings, Jeopardy genius and author of Brainiac. |

My Interests |
|
| “Michael Stusser’s ingenious ability to bring historical figures to life falls somewhere between brilliant writing and method acting. Or perhaps even necrophilia. Who knows. Point is, The Dead Guy Interviews is both wildly educational (yes, it’s possible) and wickedly entertaining.” —Neely Harris, Editor-in-Chief mental_floss magazine | |

Music:In The Dead Guy Interviews, you’ll get dating tips from Henry the VIIIth, a palm reading from Confucius, some couch time with Freud, the real scoop on where Amelia Earhart landed, and if George Washington actually inhaled.I made this music player at MyFlashFetish .com. |

Television:The concept of the "Dead Guy Interviews" came out of one living guy’s desire to "talk" with fascinating historical figures who, in addition to being dead, weren't giving out interviews during their lifetimes - sometimes due to difficult surroundings (Montezuma, Helen Keller), or just because they had lousy PR agents (Mussolini, Caligula, etc.). In depth, knock-down, drag out, tête-à-têtes with Lincoln, da Vinci, Genghis Khan (no relation to Chaka, apparently), Cleopatra, and a whole host of famous dead guys (and gals) throughout history. Edutainment, you'd call it, but with a little theatre and pop-off pop-culture thrown in for good measure. It's how we get away with asking Alexander the Great who he’d have preferred play him in the movie, Hoover's take on the cross-dressing, and Catherine the Great about her sex life. (For the record, she insists, “I did not, have, sex, with that horse.”) |

Books:The interviews are historical, hysterical, and great conversational fodder. If you ever wondered what it would be like to have dinner with anyone in history - now you’ll know… Buy the Book Here! |

Heroes:Read the interview with Cleopatra Read the interview with Nikola Tesla MLK, Jr. Ralph Nader, Abe Lincoln, Greenpeace, and, as sappy as it sounds, my wonderful parents. www.michaelstusser.com |
