Product Description:
Slava Mogutin, the notorious Russian dissident-turned-art-star and creatorof the critically acclaimed Lost Boys (powerHouse Books, 2006), returns withhis second monograph, NYC Go-Go, a tribute to the golden age of New YorkCity nightlife.
The once-glittering club world had all but disappeared by the time Mogutinarrived in America in the mid-1990s. Under Mayor Rudy Giuliani’scontroversial 'Quality of Life' campaign, downtown clubs paid the ultimateprice: owners were branded community pariahs and paid crippling fines foralleged disruptiveness, while others were prosecuted for criminal acts; manylegendary night spots were wiped off the map altogether.
In his new book, Mogutin documents the ever-shrinking downtown gay scene,taking us inside remaining joints like the Cock, Boysroom, and Mr. Black.NYC Go-Go is a wild and raunchy journey into the decaying but utterlydecadent underworld of hustlers and go-go boys. Some of them are 'roughtrade'—thugs with criminal pasts, busted for prostitution, drugs, or armedassault—while others are 'gay for pay,' married with kids and hustling fortheir families; most are Mogutin’s friends. NYC Go-Go captures the spirit ofa scene under fire with Mogutin’s trademark raw, in-your-face style.
