Landing at a time of accelerating municipal squalor and, paradoxically, gathering cultural energy in all spheres as \"Downtown\" became a category of art and life unto itself, he embarked upon his sentimental education, seventies New York style. This portrait of a critic as a young man is also a rollicking, acutely observant portrait of a legendary time and place. Mixing grit and glitter in just the right proportions, suffused with affection for the talented and sometimes half-crazed denizens of the scene, it will make readers long for a time when you really could get mugged around here.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anchor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43350833299711,"sku":"9780767930628","price":18.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780767930628_s600x595.jpg?v=1775584990","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780767930628","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
