Jennifer Clement grew up in 1960s Mexico City living next door to Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera. It was a bohemian childhood alongside artists, communists, revolutionaries and poets, one that, thanks to her markedly absent parents, allowed an awakening of a creative freedom and curiosity about the world. Passionate about dance, Clement left behind the revolutions in Latin America and took up a place at dance school in New York City in 1981. She quickly becomes a fixture in the art scene of the early 80s inhabiting the world of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Colette Lumiere, and William Burroughs, among others, and frequenting The Mudd Club, Danceteria and Studio 54. From the author of Widow Basquiat, this memoir recreates the fury, ecstasy and danger that made ?70s Mexico City and 80's New York two of the greatest places to be living, young and free.
