Face It: A Memoir by Debbie Harry
1.0
How is it possible to make an interesting life, in an amazing city, during one of the most interesting times, a chore? As much as I like Blondie, I’m sure from this that I’m not entirely a Debbie Harry fan. Despite her insistence she was ‘punk’ every 5 secs, I could barely remember a moment from the book where that was the case. There was a lot more chat about how beautiful she and others thought she was.
An entirely forgettable book which tells a story that would likely be far more interesting if told by literally anyone else
01/02/23: Revisiting this review (down to 1 star) after having read Viv Albertines memoir which puts this to absolute shame. If you are looking for someone who is legitimately calling themselves “punk”, I’d head over there where not only the writing is infinitely better but the stories are just far more interesting and sensitively explored. Hers is a story worth reading.
