The images presented here take readers from self-portraits in his run-down East-Village apartment to candid photographs of pop-cultural icons of the time and evocative shots of New York City streetscapes in all their most longed-for romance and dereliction. An eclectic cast of cultural characters - from William Burroughs to Debbie Harry, Andy Warhol to Iggy Pop - appear here exactly as they were in the day, juxtaposed with children playing hopscotch on torn-down blocks, riding the graffiti-ridden subway, or cruising the burgeoning clubs of the Bowery. \u003cbr\u003eAt once a chronicle of one music icon's life among his punk and New-Wave heroes and peers, and a love letter to the city that was the backdrop and inspiration for those scenes, Point of View transports us to another place and time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Chris Stein\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0847862186\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780847862184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rizzoli International Publications\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/23\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 12.00h x 10.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Chris Stein","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43989625766143,"sku":"9780847862184","price":57.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_50c4706d-6569-44cc-89ea-914391f872ae.jpg?v=1683300572","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/point-of-view-chris-stein-9780847862184","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
