Widow Basquiat: A Love Story
The beautifully written, deeply affecting story of Jean-Michel Basquiat's partner, her past, and their life together An NPR Best Book of the Year Selection New York City in the 1980s was a mesmerizing, wild place. A hotbed for hip hop, underground culture, and unmatched creative energy, it spawned some of the most significant art of the 20th century. It was where Jean-Michel Basquiat became an avant-garde street artist and painter, swiftly achieving worldwide fame. During the years before his death at the age of 27, he shared his life with his lover and muse, Suzanne Mallouk. A runaway from an unhappy home in Canada, Suzanne first met Jean-Michel in a bar on the Lower East Side in 1980. Thus began a tumultuous and passionate relationship that deeply influenced one of the most exceptional artists of our time. In emotionally resonant prose, award-winning author Jennifer Clement tells the story of the passion that swept Suzanne and Jean-Michel into a short-lived, unforgettable affair. A
La Fiesta Prometida / The Promised Party: Kahlo, Basquiat and Me
«Todas las canciones surgen en sue os, seg n los pueblos xavante. Se accede a las canciones despertando a los ni os con la esperanza de escuchar una canci n que podr an estar so ando. En la esperada precuela de La viuda Basquiat, Jennifer Clement demuestra que una verdadera fiesta tiene en su n cleo lo mismo que una verdadera rebeli n: una comunidad se organiza para abrir un par ntesis y crear nuevas reglas, con el fin de hacer de la vida una mejor experiencia. Quiz por eso las grandes revoluciones pol ticas han implicado siempre grandes metamorfosis culturales. Dividido en dos vastos territorios, el de una infancia en la Ciudad de M xico y el de una juventud en la ciudad de Nueva York, La fiesta prometida es un viaje de la memoria que nos transporta a un mundo en el que la complicidad entre amigos y la improvisaci n ante lo inesperado son claves revolucionarias. De la mano de las presencias fantasmag ricas de muchos artistas y escritores, como Julio Cort zar, William Burroughs, Frida

Født af mørket
Et stort fotoværk om stemningen og menneskene i Sankt Petersborg, optaget et par år før Ruslands invasion af Ukraine. Vi bevæger os ud og ind af tog og sporvogne, er på trapper og gader i et flimrende kredsløb med mennesker fanget i en hverdag, de ikke selv er herre over. Det er en kunstnerisk og formel bearbejdelse af en by og dens mennesker, hvor fortiden synes lige så meget nutid som nutiden selv. Bogens fortælling udgør en cirkel uden begyndelse og slutning som et billede på et samfund lukket om sig selv, styret af en vedvarende undertrykkelse.

The Promised Party
'Clement has lived a life like no other, and made of it a shimmering mosaic, a masterpiece, which is this book' Andrew Sean Greer, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of LessGrowing up in 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 poets, 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. From the author of cult classic Widow Basquiat, 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.
