John Safran
Squatting at Kanye’s and Other Adventures
Discovering Kanye West is praising Adolf Hitler, John Safran heads to America to find out what’s up. Kanye proves elusive, one thing tumbles into another and John moves in, squatting at one of Kanye’s mansions in the rolling hills of Los Angeles. Will the neighbours get wise and snitch to the cops? Are the creatures in the woods behind the mansion a worry? Will Kanye return? Alone with his thoughts, John finds himself becoming more paranoid each day and begins asking where he fits into the world, reflecting on past adventures and wondering whether he went too far.
John Safran is a writer and filmmaker whose past work has taken him face to face with killers, klansmen and satanists, taking readers and viewers along for the ride.
His new book SQUAT: A week squatting at Kanye’s mansion is out now.
