i know it’s bonkers to act like people aren’t aware of all of patti smiths work but you never know!!! i read this probably 3-4 years ago and i still think about it all the time. i guess not technically fiction but same feel.
would only recommend if you’re into punk culture or memoirs of any kind. very easy to read and honestly really inspiring to me, very patti smith reminiscent
This is a debut novel by a hugely talented Irish writer about a teenage girl in 1960s New York who ends up working in Warhol’s Factory, transcribing taped conversations destined to be collated into an experimental novel. It’s weird and wild and extremely funny and sad, perfect for anyone used to wandering around a glamorous city feeling like a lumpen freak.
