This is a sweet and nostalgic coming-of-age novel."<br />--<em><strong>Publishers Weekly</strong></em></p><p>"Imperiolis lived-in details about the city help make the world feel realistic...[The novel] is an immersive trip into its narrators memories of a turbulent time. Some fictional trips into 1970s New York abound with nostalgia; this novel memorably opts for grit and heartbreak."<br />--<em><strong>Kirkus Reviews</strong></em></p><p>"Imperioli delivers a spot-on coming-of-age novel...A winner."<br />--<em><strong>Library Journal</strong></em></p><p>"Even though [Lou] Reed looms large throughout--the novel even takes its title from Reeds Romeo Had Juliette, from his 1989 solo album <em>New York</em>--the book is much less about him and more about Matthews own journey through adolescence in the seedier corners of 1970s New York."<br />--<em><strong>Stereogum</strong></em></p><p>"Compelling...Lou Reed appears as a major character; hes an unlikely father figure to the teenage protagonist, Matthew, whos trying to find himself in 1976 Manhattan. The iconoclastic--and at the time, troubled--rocker inspires Matthew artistically, even as he coaxes him to walk on the wild side."<br />--<em><strong>Macleans</strong></em></p><p>"[Imperiolis] debut novel, <em>The Perfume Burned His Eyes</em>, not only deserves an award for best title, but has garnered praise from Joyce Carol Oates...This should come as no surprise...Bravo!"<br />--<em><strong>Santa Barbara Magazine</strong></em></p><p>Matthew is a sixteen-year-old living in Jackson Heights, Queens, in 1976. After he loses his two most important male role models, his father and grandfather, his mother uses her inheritance to uproot Matthew and herself to a posh apartment building in Manhattan. Although only three miles away from his boyhood home, "the city" is a completely new and strange world to Matthew.</p><p>Matthew soon befriends (and becomes a quasi-assistant to) Lou Reed, who lives with his transgender girlfriend Rachel in the same building. The drug-addled, artistic/shamanic musician eventually becomes an unorthodox father figure to Matthew, who finds himself head over heels for the mysterious Veronica, a wise-beyond-her-years girl he meets at his new school.</p><p>Written from the point of view of Matthew at age eighteen, two years after the story begins, the novel concludes with an epilogue in the year 2013, three days after Lou Reeds death, with Matthew in his fifties.</p>...9781617756429_Akashic Books, Ltd.libro_electonico_9781617756429_9781617756429Michael ImperioliInglésMéxicohttps://getbook.kobo.com/koboid-prod-public/wwnorton-epub-cb6c3c6a-056e-4ca8-b375-f0646fad0002.epub2018-04-03T00:00:00+00:00Akashic Books, Ltd.
