Beschreibung
On the road with the Blank Generation—a wild trip across the country and into the head of a down-on-his-luck punk [...]’s 1980. Burnt-out, strung-out, and just plain down-and-out, Billy Mud jumps at the chance to drive a car from California to New York, all expenses paid, and write a book about the journey. Accompanied by his ex-girlfriend who’s commissioned to contribute photos, Billy sees the book as an opportunity to beat his drug habit, test his talents, and maybe even get the girl. As Billy skids and ricochets his way across America, Richard Hell explores the funny and frightening landscape inside his head: a labyrinth of hair pin turns, complicated detours, and roller-coaster ups-and-downs. Go Now brings the harrowing world of the underground brilliantly to life.
