Read!!! this!!! book!!!
Honestly just wow. I read this in one night. I sat and read for about an hour straight until I got half way through (reading each chapter twice sometimes because just once was not enough). It's not easy to read. I had to take a break halfway through because there was a lump in my throat and a knot in my heart. This book has this way of being haunting and beautiful and encapsulating and it just swallows you whole but not before turning you inside out.
The style in which it was written really captures the tumultuous whirlwind of a relationship that Basquiat and Mallouk had.
Read this from a pdf (thanks, Alaa) but as soon as I was done I ordered it off Amazon because I need to own a physical copy.

It was alright, interesting. But. The people were just a bit too pretentious.

beautiful portrait of my favorite artist, written very poetically from the point of view of the woman he left behindÂ

Written with the kind of prose that is a heartbeat and a sigh away from being poetry, this book took my breath away. It's beautiful and sad and a work of art all on its own. I will definitely read it again.
