ACTUELLEMENT ÉPUISÉ

Unzipped: A True Story of Sex, Drugs, Rollerskates and Murder by David Henry Sterry (Paperback, 2007)

Manhattan, mid-80's. On Wall Street greed is good, Madonna debuts her bullet-bra at Danceteria, and the party never stops at Chippendales. Excess was the order of the day in this boogie nights underworld, and acclaimed memoirist David Henry Sterry, author of Chicken, was literally at the centre of the madness as the roller-skating master of ceremonies.Unzipped is the action-packed compelling true story of a fledgling actor whose big break results in a two year stint in the world's most famous and hedonistic strip club. Ultimately, though, all great parties must come to an end, and the gangland-style assassination of his boss - the man responsible for the phenomenal success of the beefcake boys - brought the crazy, never-ending ride to a grinding halt.Seedy glamour, dirty little streets, a cast of lurid characters and unflinching, brutal honesty make David Henry Sterry's Unzipped an unputdownable memoir.
