Description: St. Marks Is Dead by Ada Calhoun A vibrant history of three hallowed Manhattan blocks—the epicentre of American cool. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description St. Marks Place in New York City has spawned countless artistic and political movements. Here Frank OHara caroused, Emma Goldman plotted and the Velvet Underground wailed. Ada Calhoun tells the "Fascinating" (Village Voice) many-layered history of the street—from its beginnings as a pear orchard to todays hipster playground—organised around the pivotal moments when critics declared "St. Marks is dead". In this "timely, provocative, and stylishly written book." (The Atlantic), enriched by interviews and rare images, Calhoun profiles iconic characters from W.H. Auden to Abbie Hoffman, from Keith Haring to the Beastie Boys. St. Marks has variously been an elite address, an immigrants haven, a mafia warzone, a hippie paradise and a backdrop to the film Kids—but it has always been a place that outsiders call home. Author Biography Ada Calhoun has written for the New York Times, New York magazine, and the New York Post. Her book St. Marks Is Dead was named a New York Times Editors Choice and a Boston Globe Best Book of the Year. Review "…enjoyable and informative…" -- International Times Review Quote "What an entertaining and exhilarating read. Deeply researched and thought-provoking, this book is a joyride through the history of New York."
