Spitz, Marc "Poseur: A Memoir of Downtown New York City in the 90's" (2013) First Edition, Softcover Spitz, Marc. Poseur: A Memoir of Downtown New York City in the 90 s. 2013. First Edition. Soft cover. Da Capo Press. [2]; pp.1-362. 23.5cm X 16cm X 2.5. Minor shelf wear to top and tail of spine. Small nick out of back cover. Some bending to bottom corners of front and back covers, as shown. A gritty memoir of rock and roll in the 90 s, from idols to the infamous, Spitz does it all and takes note of it in a humorous and accessible sort of way. Marc Spitz assumed that if he lived like his literary and rock n roll heroes, he would become a great artist, too. He conveniently overlooked the fact that many of them died young, broke, and miserable. In his candid, wistful, touching, and hilarious memoir, Poseur, the music journalist, playwright, author, and blogger recounts his misspent years as a suburban kid searching for authenticity, dangerous fun, and druggy, downtown glory: first during New York s last era of risk and edge, the pre-gentrification 90s, and finally as a flamboyant and notorious rock writer, partying and posing during the music industry s heady, decadent last gasp.
