Debbie Harry - Ez van

Brave, beautiful and punk
This is a blend of honest, soulful storytelling and stunning visuals. Interspersed with never-before-seen photographs, unique illustrations, and fan-made art installations, it presents a colorful portrait of a rebel. Full of glitz, filth and glory, the book recreates downtown New York in the 1970s, where Blondie performed alongside the Ramones, Television, Talking Head, Iggy Pop and David Bowie. We follow Debbie's journey from commercial success to heroin addiction, from the early death of her partner Chris Stein, to heartbreaking bankruptcy and the break-up of Blondie, to a varied acting career spanning over thirty films, to an impressive solo career and triumphant return of the band, and environmental protection and to his tireless advocacy for LGBTQ rights. Ez van is a story about a woman who chose her own path and set a standard for the generation of artists who followed in her footsteps.
The book is a heady mix of entertaining, shocking, moving, humorous and revelatory details, further enriched by the accounts of quite a few special personalities with whom Debbie has collaborated over the years - from Andy Warhol to Jean-Michel Basquiat and Marina Abramović to David Cronenberg and John Waters.

DEBBIE HARRY is a musician, actor, activist, the epitome of New York cool. As the frontman of Blondie, he and his fellow musicians created a new sound that combined the worlds of rock, punk, disco, reggae and hip-hop, creating some of the most beloved pop songs of all time. As a muse, she worked with the most daring artists of the last four decades. The extent of his influence on our culture can only be measured by how determinedly he protected his private life from the public - until now.
