by Jennifer Clement (Author)

«Todas las canciones surgen en sue?os, seg?n los pueblos xavante. Se accede a las canciones despertando a los ni?os con la esperanza de escuchar una canci?n que podr?an estar so?ando.

En la esperada precuela de La viuda Basquiat, Jennifer Clement demuestra que una verdadera fiesta tiene en su n?cleo lo mismo que una verdadera rebeli?n: una comunidad se organiza para abrir un par?ntesis y crear nuevas reglas, con el fin de hacer de la vida una mejor experiencia. Quiz? por eso las grandes revoluciones pol?ticas han implicado siempre grandes metamorfosis culturales.

Dividido en dos vastos territorios, el de una infancia en la Ciudad de M?xico y el de una juventud en la ciudad de Nueva York, La fiesta prometida es un viaje de la memoria que nos transporta a un mundo en el que la complicidad entre amigos y la improvisaci?n ante lo inesperado son claves revolucionarias. De la mano de las presencias fantasmag?ricas de muchos artistas y escritores, como Julio Cort?zar, William Burroughs, Frida Kahlo y Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jennifer Clement despliega lo mejor de sus habilidades verbales para recrear una ?poca previa a la legalizaci?n del neoliberalismo en el norte de Am?rica Latina.

El asombro frente a lo cotidiano, la potencia de una noche en la pista de baile y la escritura coral de los grafitis en el metro son algunos de los talismanes para cultivar la libertad que el lector encontrar? en estas p?ginas, de las que saldr? pose?do por un esp?ritu rebelde y soberano para no sentirse solo nunca m?s.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

An ultra-vivid, carnivalesque memoir of Jennifer Clement's early life from 60s Mexico to 80s New York City - the prequel to Widow Basquiat

Growing up in '60s Mexico City, Jennifer Clement lived next door to Frida Kahlo's house. It was an unorthodox and bohemian childhood, living alongside artists, communists, revolutionaries and poets, and one that allowed an awakening of creative freedom and curiosity about the world.

Leaving behind the revolutions in Latin America for the burgeoning counter-culture scene in '80s New York, Clement quickly became a fixture on the art scene, inhabiting the world of Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, Colette Lumiere and William Burroughs, and frequenting The Mudd Club, Danceteria and Studio 54.

From the author of cult classic Widow Basquiat, this memoir is a tale of two cities and their artists. It recreates the fury, ecstasy and danger that made '70s Mexico City and '80s New York two of the greatest places to be young, free and alive.
