520    "'About this Book' In the tornado that was downtown New 
       York in the 1980s, John Lurie stood in its vortex. After 
       founding the band The Lounge Lizards with his brother in 
       1979, Lurie quickly became a centrifugal figure in the 
       world of outsider artists, cutting-edge filmmakers, and 
       cultural rebels. In the book, Lurie vibrantly brings to 
       life the whole wash of 1980s New York as he develops his 
       artistic soul over the course of the decade and comes into
       orbit with all the prominent artists of that time and 
       place, like Andy Warhol, Debbie Harry, Boris Policeband, 
       and especially Jean-Michel Basquiat, the enigmatic 
       artistic prodigy who spent a year sleeping on Lurie's 
       floor on East 3rd Street. It may feel like Disney World 
       now, but in The History of Bones, the East Village, 
       through Lurie's clear-eyed reminiscence, comes to teeming,
       gritty life. The book is full of grime and frank humor--
       Lurie pulls no punches and bars no holds in his 
       descriptions of the frothy whirlpool of the East Village 
       at that time. His story is a journey back to one of the 
       most significant moments in our cultural history, one 
       whose reverberations are still strongly felt today"--
