About this product

Product Information

Celebrated painter Duncan Hannah arrived in New York City from Minneapolis in the early 1970s as an art student hungry for experience, game for almost anything, and with a prodigious taste for drugs, girls, alcohol, movies, rock and roll, books, parties, and everything else the city had to offer. Taken directly from the notebooks Hannah kept throughout the decade, Twentieth-Century Boy is a fascinating, sometimes lurid, and incredibly entertaining report from a now almost mythical time and place. Full of outrageously bad behavior, naked ambition, fantastically good music, and evaporating barriers of taste and decorum, and featuring cameos from David Bowie, Andy Warhol, Patti Smith, and many more, it is a rollicking account of an artist's coming of age.

Reviews
"Artist Duncan Hannah came to New York at 17, ambitious, angelic, straight and--according to his hugely entertaining diary--priapic. Despite being stoned or hungover more often than not, he found time to grow as an artist and record his adventures in absorbing detail, including memorable encounters with Salvador Dal, Andy Warhol, David Hockney and Ned Rorem." -- John Berendt , author of Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil "Duncan Hannah's extraordinary good looks, talent, determination, and, at least during the 70s, his absolute willingness to test the human body's capacities for alcohol, drugs, and (especially) sex, along with his wonderful taste in fiction, music, and French films, his astonishing unstoppability, not to mention his indifference to conventional norms, make us exceedingly fortunate that he wrote almost everything down as it was happening. The other great joy of 20th CENTURY BOY, apart from the splendor of all that excess, is the straight-line, crisp, beautiful nonchalance of his style. This is rooted in character, and you can't fake it." -- Peter Straub , author of Ghost Story "In early '70s downtown NYC, Duncan Hannah was one of the wild boys, precocious and impossibly gorgeous. Besotted with lust and relentless intoxication David Bowie's "Rebel, Rebel" tolled for him. These diaries, hidden away for ages, are like the Dead Sea Scrolls of a mythological Lower Manhattan underground, where the New York Dolls glitter-rock brigade made way for the CBGB revolution of Patti Smith and Television. With gobs of Warholian gossip and passionate listings of all the most radical records, books and films of the day, Twentieth Century Boy immerses the reader in a history of beauty from the Nouvelle vague to meetings with David Hockney. As the writing progresses from rat-a-tat teen beat to more adult considerations, we glean Duncan's romance and eventual providence: to be cool is not the point, being an artist in love with the universe is." -- Thurston Moore , co-founder of Sonic Youth "A dandy, a flaneur, a rock 'n' roll wastrel wandering Candide-like through the dangerous undercurrents of the 1970s: if Duncan Hannah didn't exist, you'd have to invent him" -- Jon Savage , author of England's Dreaming and 1966 "When you come to New York City a wide-eyed artist only to discover you're the cutest and most talented tyke in town, you meet lots of people--David Bowie, Andy Warhol and Lou Reed to name just a few--and interesting capers ensue. In Twentieth-Century Boy these adventures are recounted in prose that is eloquent and funny, written by a teen wise beyond his years. Duncan Hannah's journals bring back the adolescence that most of us wish we had." -- Gillian McCain , co-author of Please Kill Me
