Attila Ambrus (the "Whiskey Robber") is now out of prison. I was with him in Hungary Feb 1, 2012, the day after his release. (The video of his leaving the prison is on the book website.) He is currently working as a ceramicist and living outside Budapest, where he is making pottery and news on a regular basis. The book also exists as a digital audio cabaret, which can be purchased here. The performance stars Eric Bogosian, Gary Shteyngart, Demetri Martin, Jonathan Ames, Tommy Ramone and others. The book was the winner of (now defunct) Borders "Original Voices" Book of the Year, a finalist for the 2005 Edgar Allan Poe Award and a finalist for the Anthony Award. The audio cabaret was a finalist for the 2007 Audie Award for Best Audio Book. My other work can be found at my personal website, which also has links to other media about the book and my work from other publications, including the New Yorker, the New York Times Magazine, Travel + Leisure and others. There is also a dedicated site for the book, which includes links to songs that bands around the world have written about Attila, as well as the song I wrote in his voice, and performed at festivals:whiskeyrobber.comIf you'd like, please join the Facebook page for the book, where more information about it, as well as news about the film, and Attila, is posted. www.facebook.com/whiskeyrobberTo follow me and my other work, you can visit my personal Facebook page. www.facebook.com/julian.rubinstein1You can also follow me on Twitter:@julian_rubinsteI appreciate your interest in my work and I do my best to respond to all email.
