The Worst of Broke-Ass Stuart

The Worst of Broke-Ass Stuart: 20 years of love, death, & dive bars

350 pages of Stuart's most infamous, beloved, iconic, and occasionally ill-advised work!

For over two decades, writer, rabble-rouser, and bon vivant, Stuart Schuffman (aka Broke-Ass Stuart), has been chronicling life in San Francisco with grit, wit, and an open bar tab.

Part memoir, part cultural archive, The Worst of Broke-Ass Stuart brings together twenty years of stories about scraping by, speaking up, and falling in and out of love with the most beautifully heartwarming and heartbreaking place in America. With delectable accounts of modern life in a big city, Schuffman’s writing harkens back to greats like Herb Caen and Jimmy Breslin, a true champion of the working-class citizen. His weekly column, Broke-Ass City, appeared in the San Francisco Examiner for over 6 years.

About the Author. Stuart Schuffman, aka Broke-Ass Stuart, is a travel writer, poet, TV host, activist, and general shit-stirrer. His website BrokeAssStuart.com is one of the most influential arts & culture sites in the San Francisco Bay Area and his freelance writing has been featured in Lonely Planet, Conde Nast Traveler, The Bold Italic, Geek.com and too many other outlets to remember.

Stuart’s writing has been translated into four languages. In 2011 Stuart created and hosted the travel show Young, Broke, and Beautiful on IFC, and in 2015 he ran for Mayor of San Francisco and got nearly 20k votes.
