ABOUT THE PERPETRATORS



Paul Fericano and Elio Ligi are literary extremists whose satires and hoaxes have angered the mighty and amused the powerless for nearly three decades.

Their activities and attitudes are so controversial they were ousted from Terrorist Poets & Writers in 1984 for, among other things, the pie bombing of an Adrienne Rich reading at Reed College and an aborted attempt to hi-jack the Olympic Torch in Selma, Alabama.

Shortly thereafter, they founded Yossarian Universal News Service, Earth's first and only international parody news and disinformation service.


Fericano lives in California with his wife, Kathy, and their daughter, Kate.


Ligi was last photographed in Moammar Qadaffi's supreme mess tent, preparing the liver of a former Minister of Finance for Field Marshall and President for Life Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, and Commander-In-Chief of the Ugandan Armed Forces.
