Coup de coeur
Coup de coeur (Art), by Mariama
The author of the cult classic Widow Basquiat, Jennifer Clement uses this time her lyrical and precise prose to write an unorthodox memoir: The Promised Party. This tale of two cities paints a vivid picture of both her childhood in Mexico drenched in the vibrant cultural legacy of Frida Khalo and her years in the gritty art world/scene of Basquiats New York. It will resonate with anyone who has ever felt the thrill of creative freedom, the allure of artistic expression, and the desire to live life on the edge, as it draws the reader to the vibrant worlds of 1960s Mexico City and 1980s New York City, where art, revolution, and self-discovery collide.
An ultra-vivid, carnivalesque memoir of Jennifer Clement's early life from 60s Mexico to 80s New York City - the prequel to Widow Basquiat
