Description: "Growing up in the '60s Mexico City, Jennifer Clement lived next door to Frida Kahlo's house. It was an unorthodox and bohemian childhood, living alongside artists, communists, revolutionaries and pets, and one that allowed an awakening of creative freedom and curiosity about the world. Leaving behind the revolutions in Latin America for the burgeoning counter-culture scene in '80s New York, Clement quickly became a fixture on the art scene, inhabiting the world of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Colette Lumiere and William Burroughs, and frequenting The Mudd Club, Danceteria and Studio 54. ...This memoir is a tale of two cities and their artists. It recreates the fury, ecstasy and danger that made '70s Mexico City and '80s New York two of the greatest places to be young, free and alive."--Publisher marketing.
Review Quotes: La crítica ha dicho:
«Desde su bohemia infancia, cuando vivía al lado de la casa de Frida Kahlo en el México de los sesenta, hasta su edad adulta en el Nueva York de los ochenta y los mundos de William S. Burroughs y Jean-Michel Basquiat, la vida de Clement ha sido muy estimulante. Este libro explora la riqueza del arte, la cultura y la historia de Nueva York y Ciudad de México, los dos lugares que desempeñaron un papel importante en la formación de Clement. Se trata de un libro bello e informativo que ofrece a los lectores una atractiva panorámica de la vida de una verdadera artista.» -Dua Lipa, Service95
