Publisher's Synopsis
Zachary Lipez's essays recount his adventures as a bartender, drug abuser, bookseller, metal fan, miserable adolescent and relentless skirt-chaser. His inimitable voice walks the line between self-loathing and hedonistic delight and is biting, moving and extremely funny. Nick Zinner's photographs evoke the world he travels with his band Yeah Yeah Yeahs. His always-present camera documents decadent late nights as well as blissfully fresh sundappled landscapes. His images are rich in narrative and unwaveringly optimistic.
