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.

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

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.

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.

Gun love
Pearl är fjorton år och har vuxit upp i framsätet på en gammal Mercury. Hennes mamma Margot bor i baksätet. Hon kan se in i folk och känna vad som gör ont. De bor i en del av Florida där det mexikanska heroinet håller på att ta metamfetaminets plats och de överlever på en diet av mjölkpulver och insektssprej, kärlekssånger och stulna, halvrökta cigaretter. Men när Margot blir tillsammans med Eli Redmond ändras allt. En dag får hon en egen pistol av Eli, ungefär som man ger någon en blom
Basquiats änka
Jean-Michel Basquiat var målaren som kom att definiera 1980-talet, geniet som tog graffitin in i konstvärlden runt Andy Warhol, den förste svarte konstnären som blev en superstjärna. Suzanne Mallouk levde med honom. Hon såg passionen och framgången på nära håll, men också det förfall som hans livsstil förde med sig - 1988 dog han av en överdos. Jennifer Clement rörde sig i samma kretsar, och har skrivit en drabbande och poetisk memoar om Basquiat och hans änka - ett tidsdokument för dig
