SynopsisSlava Mogutin, the notorious Russian dissident-turned-art star and creator of the critically acclaimed Lost Boys (powerHouse Books, 2006), returns with his second monograph, NYC Go-Go , a tribute to the golden age of New York City nightlife. The once glittering club world had all but disappeared by the time Mogutin arrived in America in the mid-1990s. Under Mayor Rudy Giuliani's controversial "Quality of Life" campaign, downtown clubs paid the ultimate price: owners were branded community pariahs and paid crippling fines for alleged disruptiveness, while others were prosecuted for criminal acts; many legendary night spots were wiped off the map altogether. In his new book, Mogutin documents the ever-shrinking downtown gay scene, taking us inside a few remaining joints like the Cock , Boysroom , and Mr. Black . NYC Go-Go is a raunchy journey into the underworld inhabited by hustlers, go-go boys and their admirers. Some of them are "rough trade"--thugs with criminal pasts, busted for prostitution, drugs or armed assaults--while others are "gay for pay," married with kids and hustling for their families. NYC Go-Go captures the spirit of a scene under fire with Mogutin's trademark raw, in-your face style., The second monograph by critically acclaimed Russian dissedent and homosexual upstart Slave Mogutin. Here, readers are escorted past the velvet rope and taken into the seedier, seamier side of New York's still-pounding gay club life., Slava Mogutin - the notorious Russian dissident-turned-art-star and creator of the critically acclaimed Lost Boys - returns with his second monograph.
