## Description

The beautifully written, deeply affecting story of Jean-Michel Basquiat's partner, her past, and their life together An NPR Best Book of the Year Selection New York City in the 1980s was a mesmerizing, wild place. A hotbed for hip hop, underground culture, and unmatched creative energy, it spawned some of the most significant art of the 20th century. It was where Jean-Michel Basquiat became an avant-garde street artist and painter, swiftly achieving worldwide fame. During the years before his death at the age of 27, he shared his life with his lover and muse, Suzanne Mallouk. A runaway from an unhappy home in Canada, Suzanne first met Jean-Michel in a bar on the Lower East Side in 1980. Thus began a tumultuous and passionate relationship that deeply influenced one of the most exceptional artists of our time. In emotionally resonant prose, award-winning author Jennifer Clement tells the story of the passion that swept Suzanne and Jean-Michel into a short-lived, unforgettable affair. A poetic interpretation like no other, Widow Basquiat is an expression of the unrelenting power of addiction, obsession and love.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clubs, drugs and to be young
*by S***T on December 25, 2014*

A quick and interesting walk through the inside of the art club scene of the 80's as depicted through the love affair of Basquiat and Suzanne things we have heard before and others we have not. I'm always fascinated by the inner stories of this time as ok live ed d through them myself in LA. Poetic. Memories of what it is to be young to live free and to create and those that live through it and those that die by it. It was a fast and enjoyable ride.
