Description: In his poetic memoir Hell takes us on a tour of a lost world and stakes out his place in cultural history. Los Angeles Times A rueful battle - scarred darkly witty observer of his own life and times. New York Times The sharp lyrical and no - holds - barred autobiography of the iconoclastic writer and musician Richard Hell charting the childhood coming of age and misadventures of an artist in an indelible era of rock and roll. From an early age Richard Hell dreamed of running away. He arrived penniless in New York City at seventeen; ten years later he was a pivotal voice of the age of punk cofounding such seminal bands as Television The Heartbreakers and Richard Hell and the Voidoids whose song " Blank Generation" remains the defining anthem of the era an era that would forever alter popular culture in all its forms. How this legendary downtown artist went from a bucolic childhood in the idyllic Kentucky foothills to igniting a movement that would take over New York and London's restless youth culture cementing CBGB as the ground zero of punk and spawning the careers of not only Hell himself but a cohort of friends such as Tom Verlaine Patti Smith the Ramones and Debby Harry is a mesmerizing chronicle of self - invention and of Hell's yearning for redemption through poetry music and art. An acutely rendered unforgettable coming - of - age story I Dreamed I Was a Very Clean Tramp evokes with feeling lyricism and piercing intelligence both the world that shaped him and the world he shaped.
