CHRISTOPHER LARGEN is a renegade iconoclast and internationally published writer whose works have appeared in The Village Voice, High Times, The Nashville Scene, Cannabis Culture, Whole Life Times, Ft. Worth Weekly, Swans, Eat the State, and dozens of other publications. He is the co-author of Prescription Pot: A Leading Advocate's Heroic Battle to Legalize Medical Marijuana (New Horizon Press, 2003), which chronicles the life and times of George McMahon, one of only seven individuals who receive legal medical cannabis from the United States Government’s Investigational New Drug program.

Before becoming a professional writer, Christopher engaged in esoteric pursuits like taunting Ku Klux Klansmen, snoozing under bridges, challenging the two-party system, obsessing about life and death, and providing care for disabled people.

Christopher currently resides in Denton, a small Texas arts community with a well-deserved reputation for embracing self-exiled eccentrics, and is the founder of Building Block, an organization dedicated to confronting and eliminating sexual abuse of children.

Christopher Largen denies all use of junk food. He also claims that he exercises regularly, but federal authorities have not yet confirmed this. If you see Mr. Largen, please do not try to apprehend him as he may be carrying sizeable quantities of gumdrops.

Junk is Christopher’s first novel. More information can be found on Christopher’s Web site.
