Yep, that's me and Mean Martin Manning they're talking about. The picture is a few months old, of the pre-shaven Scott Stein. Still, handsome.
Jacob Sullum, senior editor, began the interview with this:
Your book is a funny, entertaining story that happens to have political themes, as opposed to a heavy-handed ideological lesson that tries to be entertaining. Did you set out to write a political novel?
To read my response and the full piece (which includes some silliness), you'll have to get the magazine. The piece isn't available online. They don't post this print version content on their site for a couple of months (plus, it doesn't look as cool online as it does in print).
If you don't subscribe, you might have to wait a few days for the magazine to hit the stores (Barnes and Noble, Borders). Pick up a copy. Show the issue around to friends. Say, "Hey, I know that bastard!" Then tell them to buy the book.

The brief review appears in the July print issue (in stores in June), but you can also read it online (scroll down -- it's the last review on the page). Here's an excerpt:
There are few really good hardcore libertarian novels. This is one of them. Remember, I said "hardcore." And "good." "Good" doesn't mean "I agree with the message." "Good" doesn't mean "I like the hero." "Good" doesn't mean "This is an agreeable fantasy." "Good" means a lot more than that, and "Mean Martin Manning" is good. It's smart and it's funny. It's exactly as long as it ought to be. Its images, ideas, settings, and characters will linger in your memory far beyond this summer.
