Book Synopsis

A Sunday Times, Times, Irish Times and Mojo Book of the Year

Rough Trade #1 Book of the Year
Resident Music #1 Book of the Year

''Were you there? Well this is as close as it gets! Thurston Moore's compelling and spirited account of the streets, the songs, the clothes, the clubs and the contenders! A sensitive and authentic testimony to Moore's life lived through art and music. Beats with the heart of a true artist and mutineer.'' Viv Albertine

''Downtown scientists rejoice! For Thurston Moore has unearthed the missing links, the sacred texts, the forgotten stories, and the secret maps of the lost golden age. This is historyscuffed, slightly bent, plenty noisy, and indispensable.'' Colson Whitehead

A music-obsessed retrospective, beginning with his childhood epiphany of rock 'n' roll in the early 1960s into an infatuation with the subversive world of 1970s punk and no wave blasting forth from New York Cit
