Just Kids Patti Smith

kartoniert

In 1967, a chance meeting between two young people led to a romance and a lifelong friendship that would carry each to international success never dreamed of. The backdrop is Brooklyn, Chelsea Hotel, Max's Kansas City, Scribner's Bookstore, Coney Island, Warhol's Factory and the whole city resplendent. Among their friends, literary lights, musicians and artists such as Harry Smith, Bobby Neuwirth, Allen Ginsberg, Sandy Daley, Sam Shepherd, William Burroughs, etc. It was a heightened time politically and culturally; the art and music worlds exploding and colliding. In the midst of all this two kids made a pact to always care for one another. Scrappy, romantic, committed to making art, they prodded and provided each other with faith and confidence during the hungry years--the days of cous-cous and lettuce soup.

Slow Days, Fast Company Eve Babitz

kartoniert

No one burned hotter than Eve Babitz. Possessing skin that radiated "its own kind of moral laws," spectacular teeth, and a figure that was the stuff of legend, she seduced seemingly everyone who was anyone in Los Angeles for a long stretch of the 1960s and '70s. One man proved elusive, however, and so Babitz did what she did best, she wrote him a book. Slow Days, Fast Company is a full-fledged and full-bodied evocation of a bygone Southern California that far exceeds its mash-note premise. In ten sun-baked, Santa Ana wind-swept sketches, Babitz re-creates a Los Angeles of movie stars distraught over their success, socialites on three-day drug binges holed up in the Chateau Marmont, soap-opera actors worried that tomorrow's script will kill them off, Italian femmes fatales even more fatal than Babitz. And she even leaves LA now and then, spending an afternoon at the house of flawless Orange County suburbanites, a day among the grape pickers of the Central Valley, a weekend in Palm Springs where her dreams of romance fizzle and her only solace is Virginia Woolf. In the end it doesn't matter if Babitz ever gets the guy-she seduces us.

Love Is a Mix Tape Rob Sheffield

kartoniert

Mix tapes: We all have our favorites. Stick one into a deck, press play, and you're instantly transported to another time in your life. For Rob Sheffield, that time was one of miraculous love and unbearable grief. A time that spanned seven years, it started when he met the girl of his dreams, and ended when he watched her die in his arms. Using the listings of fifteen of his favorite mix tapes, Rob shows that the power of music to build a bridge between people is stronger than death. You'll read these words, perhaps surprisingly, with joy in your heart and a song in your head-the one that comes to mind when you think of the love of your life.

Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass Lana Del Rey

gebunden

'Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass is the title poem of the book and the first poem I wrote of many. Some of which came to me in their entirety, which I dictated and then typed out, and some that I worked laboriously picking apart each word to make the perfect poem. They are eclectic and honest and not trying to be anything other than what they are and for that reason I'm proud of them, especially because the spirit in which they were written was very authentic.

'An alchemy of memoir and imagination' Waterstones Newsletter

Say It With A Love Song (Erstauflage exklusiv mit Farbschnitt und Character Card) Katharina Katz

kartoniert

Als Emilie nach Brighton zieht, soll für sie mit dem Praktikum in einer angesagten Chocolaterie ein neues Kapitel beginnen. In einem Club trifft sie den sexy Schlagzeuger Jake. Auf den ersten Blick scheint sein Leben ein einziger Rausch aus Partys und Mädchen zu sein, doch hinter der Fassade kämpft Jake mit Problemen. Emilie ist von Jake fasziniert und möchte ihn kennenlernen, mehr sein, als nur eine seiner flüchtigen Affären. Sie ändert ihren Style, begeistert sich für Dinge, die Jake mag - und vergisst dabei, wer sie eigentlich ist. Emilie verschiebt ihre Grenzen - für Jake, für ihren Job, für eine bessere Version von sich selbst. Als Emilie schließlich realisiert, wie sehr sie sich verändert hat und was sie aufgegeben hat, um Jake nah zu sein, beschließt sie, einen radikalen Schlussstrich zu ziehen. Sie sucht das Gespräch mit einem Personal Coach, zeigt in der Chocolaterie endlich, was in ihr steckt und gestaltet ihr Leben in Brighton nach ihren eigenen Vorstellungen. Für Jake ist Emilie zunächst nur eine beliebige Ablenkung, eine Möglichkeit dem elterlichen Druck zu entfliehen. Er genießt ihre Nähe, doch mehr ist für ihn nicht drin - bis er kurz davor ist, sie endgültig zu verlieren. Haben die beiden eine zweite Chance, oder wird Emilie sich für den charmanten Kobe entscheiden, dem sie in den letzten Wochen näher gekommen ist? Kann ein Song noch einmal alles verändern?

Play It As It Lays Joan Didion

gebunden

A ruthless dissection of American life in the late 1960s, Joan Didion's Play It as It Lays captures the mood of an entire generation, the ennui of contemporary society reflected in spare prose that blisters and haunts the reader.
Set in a place beyond good and evil---literally in Hollywood, Las Vegas, and the barren wastes of the Mojave Desert, but figuratively in the landscape of an arid soul---it remains more than three decades after its original publication a profoundly disturbing novel, riveting in its exploration of a woman and a society in crisis and stunning in the still-startling intensity of its prose.

Open Water Caleb Azumah Nelson

kartoniert

Wenn du "nur" einen Kurzurlaub machst, aber trotzdem etwas Anspruchsvolles mit viel Tiefe lesen willst:

Two young people meet at a pub in South East London. Both are Black British, both won scholarships to private schools where they struggled to belong, both are now artists - he a photographer, she a dancer - trying to make their mark in a city that by turns celebrates and rejects them. Tentatively, tenderly, they fall in love. But two people who seem destined to be together can still be torn apart by fear and violence.
