A chronicle of the author's personal sojourn growing up in the blight of Alphabet City (Manhattan's Lower East Side)in the 70s and 80s. The memoir also casts light on the energy of New York's punk rock era through the story of the brief rise and demise of a promising punk band, The Lustres, whose members were friends of the author's, and the tragic death of the ban's charismatic leader.
Muggings on Avenue C, punk bands at CBGB, parties in a nascent SoHo, dropping out from the famous Music & Art High School. In this episodic, coming-of-age memoir, Josh Karlen chronicles growing up in New York's Greenwich Village and crime-ridden Alphabet City in the 70s and early 80s. "Lost Lustre" recaptures a New York suffering its gravest financial crisis and soaring crime, yet staging a spectacular resurgence of the arts. Karlen shares a fascinating personal history of the punk rock scene through the prism of The Lustres, a band that played venues that launched the Talking Heads, Patti Smith and the Ramones. In the title chapter, Karlen poignantly pays homage to the band's charismatic and talented lead singer, whose life in many ways seemed to mirror his times in both its shining creativity and nihilistically destructive force.
