Story
Lucy Sante has often felt like an outsider. Born in Belgium to conservative Catholic working-class parents, she was transplanted to the United States without ever entirely settling here. But a feeling of home finally arrived when she moved to New York City in the early 1970s amidst her fellow bohemians. Through those electric years, some of her friends would die young, from drugs and AIDS, and others would become jarringly famous. Lucy flirted with both fates, on her way to building a glittering career as a writer. But she could never shake that feeling.

Story
In the 1980s, the subways of New York City were covered with art. In the stations, black matte sheets were pasted over outdated ads, and unsigned chalk drawings often popped up on these blank spaces. These temporary chalk drawings numbered in the thousands and became synonymous with a city as diverse as it was at war with itself, beset with poverty and crime but alive with art and creative energy. And every single one of these drawings was done by Keith Haring.

Story
Strange Bird is a continuation on the very themes of my first 4 books. Addiction, trauma, baring my soul, yearning and searching, finding my way back to myself. Telling my truth even when it may feel like a bitter betrayal of the one I loved the most. Strange Bird is my hope that I can finally turn a corner and a page and an entire chapter and book of my life for something brand new. Strange Bird is a goodbye letter.
