 | In the Fascist Bathroom by Greil Marcus
Was punk just another moment in music history, a flash in time when a group of young rebels exploded in a fury of raw sound, outrageous styles, and in-your-face attitude? Greil Marcus, author of the renowned Lipstick Traces, delves into the after-life of punk as a much richer phenomenon--a form of artistic and social rebellion that continually erupts into popular culture. In more than seventy short pieces written over fifteen years, he traces the uncompromising strands of punk from Johnny Rotten to Elvis Costello, Sonic Youth, even Bruce Springsteen. Marcus's unparalleled insight into present-day culture and brilliant ear for music bring punk's searing half-life into deep focus. Originally published in the U.S. as RANTERS AND CROWD PLEASERS.

 | Mark Morrisroe by Mark Morrisroe
Mark Morrisroe (1959-1989) carried a bullet in his chest and a Polaroid camera with him at all times. The former fired from the gun of a disgruntled john, the latter a gift from the Poloroid Corporation, which included a lifetime supply of film. His life was cut short, but the photographs he took remain -- lush, anguished, and comedic depictions of a life consumed by ambition and disaster. This monograph is a recounting of what remains in the artist`s works and words. AUTHOR: Mark Morrisroe
