Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Various and sundry works by Richard Hell (Go Now), the leader of the late '70s No Wave band the Voidoids, are assembled in Hot and Cold: Essays Poems Lyrics Notebooks Pictures Fiction. Largely previously unpublished, and typically irreverent, lewd, sublime, non-sequiturous and anti-establishment these works wrest the strange, funny and disgusting out of most situations. In an early prose poem, Hell describes a bestiality fantasy; in a notebook entry, he describes a meeting with an ailing William Burroughs. Neo-punks and the alternative "whatever" crowd will enjoy this beautifully printed document of overlapping sub-cultures.
Review
"... It's a defining history lesson, a moving, brainy personal exploration, and literature at its most uncompromising and greatest." -- Dennis Cooper
"...It works as both punk memoir and a universal coming of age story about being young, rude and less stupid than you put on." -- Gear
"Hot and Cold is remarkable for its enthusiasm and generosity of spirit." -- Blender
... From the beginning, Richard Hell has burned with the same blue flame of misfit insight and desperate beauty. -- Jerry Stahl in Bookforum
... Neo-punks and the alternative "whatever" crowd will enjoy this beautifully printed document of overlapping subcultures. -- Publisher’s Weekly
Hell is a genuine writer... some of the best writing about rock I’ve ever read. -- David Dalton in Gadfly
