“The people from the extraordinary New York milieu amongst whom I was living and working had no way of knowing that the years between 1977 and 1982 were enchanted, endangered, and unrepeatable,” explains photographer Marcia Resnick. It was a time and place populated by icons, iconoclasts, and antiheroes whom Resnick documented with a unique and evocative eye. Here, her photographs of the “enfants terribles” reflect this unique time in the worlds of jazz, rock and roll, literature, art, and film—an era that remains highly influential. Rockers Johnny Thunders, Joey Ramone, James Brown, Iggy Pop, David Byrne, Brian Eno, and Mick Jagger; beat poets William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Gregory Corso; and provocateurs and raconteurs John Waters, Steve Rubell, Gary Indiana, Abbie Hoffman, Norman Mailer, Andy Warhol, and the incomparable John Belushi are included here, along with text by Victor Bockris and contemporary writings that create a context for Resnick’s photography from this inimitable era.

About the Author

She lives in New York City.

One of the best books I've ever had

One of the best books I've ever had, fantastic photos and great writing, it's just mesmerizing to look at those portraits.
The only "bad" thing I can say about this book, is that the font they used for the text is so tiny I cannot read it, I had to buy reading glasses just for this book!.
In any event, just buy it, this books is amazing.

I love the quality of this book, the paper and care with which it was produced. The photos and stories of each subject are excellent. Some made me cry. I bought a copy for my friend who loved it too.

The book is not only a pictorial of the time, but a real anthropological piece of work reflecting major change in the music and culture of that time period. The images and text are excellent. Just in time for this holiday season. A must have for anyone who lived during that time period. Kudos to Marcia Resnick and Victor Bockris!
