Book Reviews of The End of New York
Book Review: underground new york nostalgia
Summary: 5 Stars
This is is the first book to unite art and poetry to portray the recently deceased Times Square sexual underworld. Written from the perspective of a participant and not a voyeur, the book is an effort to document an unique aspect of New York which has been lost under the Guliani regimes double sexual standard. The color, danger and freedom of this landscape of desire is documented here for future generations that don't necessarily think that Times Square as Disneyland/tourist trap is an improvement. The locations are real, the stories true and images are based in reality with the real denizens of the "forty deuce" as models. Any fan of John Rechy, Genet, Bruce Benderson or Herbert Huncke will delight in the text. Any fan of Jim Bidgood's 'Pink Narcissus", Guy Peelart's photomontages or like the idea of Pierre and Giles with an unappologetic american grittiness will love the beautifully printed color full bleed plates of Marc and a wide cast of new yorks underground gorgeous deviants.
