Product Information
"A gorgeous memoir . . . a potent mix of love, art, and death."-Vanity Fair Brad Gooch arrived in New York in the 1970s, eager for artistic and personal freedom. Smash Cut is his bold and intimate memoir of this exhilarating time and place, complete with its cast of wild bohemians, celebrities, and budding artists, such as Robert Mapplethorpe, William Burroughs, and Madonna. At its center is his love affair with film director Howard Brookner, re-created from fragments of memory and a crosshatch of conflicting emotions, from innocent romance to bleak despair. Gooch and Brookner's intense relationship is challenged by sex and drugs, and by a culture of extreme experimentation. As both men try to reconcile love and fidelity with the irresistible desire to sample the legendary abandon of the era, they live together and apart. Gooch works briefly as a model in Milan, then returns to New York and discovers his vocation as a writer. Brookner falls ill with a mysterious virus that soon has a terrifying name: AIDS. And the story, along with life in the city, is suddenly overshadowed by this new plague that will ravage a generation and transform the creative world. Gooch charts the progress of Brookner through his illness, and writes unforgettably about endings: of a great talent, a passionate love affair, and an incandescent era. "Brave and powerful."-A. M. Homes, author of May We Be Forgiven

Reviews
Brad Gooch's story is harrowingly honest written with love and in grief, a deftly articulated insightful history that is at once personal and deeply resonant. Brave and powerful--I couldn't put it down., So glamorous, so sexy, and so devastating, this love story will be the gay picture of the 70s/80s. That it took place between two beautiful, talented young men only makes it the more romantic and poignant., Gooch has documented his life... with unselfconscious ease that makes his memoir a literary achievement more than a simple biography... It's short but impactful, like a poem you didn't realize you'd been waiting your whole life to read and stumbled across by chance., It is both unparalleled in its intimacy, focusing on his romance with the filmmaker Howard Brookner, and its universality, as a testament to the havoc wreaked by the AIDS pandemic, something he witnessed firsthand in Brookner's decline and eventual death in 1989., Gooch excels when reporting on the cruelty wrought by H.I.V. that would eventually take Brookner's life-and on the complexity of a relationship that defied category., Smash Cut is an eloquent, deeply felt exploration of love and ambition in dangerous times. . . Smash Cut [is] a moving, memorable and important book., Like everyone who ever met Brad, I fell instantly in love. If YOU'VE not met him, reading this book will be the next best thing., Far more than a memoir, Smash Cut is a bold and tender anatomy of love in an age of ambition, art, and changing light., That Gooch is a splendid writer will not be left in doubt for anyone who delves into his new memoir. . . . Literary memoirs abound; this one excels in beautiful honesty., Acclaimed literary biographer Brad Gooch turns to the contours of his own life, particularly his romance with film director Howard Brookner, in this brave and intimate memoir... The elegiac book traces complex terrains of sex and drugs, ambition and love, and art and mortality with tender honesty., Gooch brings the city to life with all its promise and possibility. A personal, intimate look at our country's creative history that will also keep you up all night and make you see the city in a new way., In Gooch's visceral, gut-punching narrative, the arrival of AIDS turns the city into a cemetery. . . . This is a memoir that needs to be read by those who remember and those who never knew., The fact that a writer of Brad Gooch's significance has been witness to remarkable events and people, and has written about them, is a genuine gift to the world. Smash Cut is a beautiful and important book., A powerful, poignant and especially frank memoir. . . Rife with humor, glamour, audacity and tragedy, Smash Cut is a witty, whimsical portrait of art and artists from an unforgettable time period., Smash Cut is a love story, an elegy, an intimate history written with enormous grace by a novelist and poet, who is also a master biographer., Gooch is a cool witness to the era's excess and his own conflicting behavi∨ his quiet honesty is bold. Smash Cut is a love story and an elegy. It's heady, sexy, heartbreaking, and most notably, even in the face of death, written not from anger, but love., In his memoir Smash Cut , Gooch traces the life of '70s and '80s New York with the same fashionable tongue of a literary connoisseur, approaching the details of his life with humour and poignancy.
