An evocative comingofage memoirthe story of the education of a wayward wild child and acidhead who, searching for meaning and purpose, found refuge in the demimonde of the ruined but magical metropolis that was New York City in the 1970s.Born in the Bronx, Guy Trebay was raised in an atmosphere of privilege on Long Islands North Shore after his entrepreneurial father struck business gold with Hawaiian Surf, a wildly successful cologne company that capitalized on the optimism of the 1960s as marketed to an adventurous new breed of men. But behind the facade of material prosperity lay the emotional disarray of a household dominated by a charismatic, con artist father, a glamorous yet lost and careless mother, a family haunted by tragedy. By the time Trebay established a foothold at the fringes of Andy Warhols Factory and the diverse artistic tribes that thrived in Manhattan in that predigital era, his father had lost his fortune, his younger sister had been arrested for armed robbery and fled underground, the family house was in ashes, and his mother was dead.Unschooled and on his own, Trebay became a striver, wending his way through a seemingly apocalyptic landscape populated by a vibrant cast of characters, including washedup Hollywood screenwriters of the 30s; Warhol superstars like Jackie Curtis and Candy Darling; fashion geniuses like Charles James; and emerging artists, filmmakers, writers, designers, photographers, and deejays who would powerfully influence mainstream culture in the decades to come.

I enjoyed the themes of growth and struggle in this coming-of-age story, but I felt some sections dragged on a bit. The descriptions of New York in the 70s were striking, but I sometimes found it hard to stay engaged. Still worth a read if you appreciate the era!
