The chronicles of Alain Pacadis, his diary between October 1976 and October 1977. A year of peregrinations in the Parisian night, concerts, festivals (including that of Mont-de-Marsan), fashion shows, interviews with artists and rock groups. From his little room in the rue de Charonne to the Main Bleu in Montreuil, over the pages we come across as many personalities as Les Stinky Toys, Andy Warhol, Iggy Pop, Kenzo, Patti Smith, Jean-François Bizot, The Clash… and so many others. The best testimony to the punk wave that shook a certain French youth and certain trendy circles. A book and a personality that still fascinate today.
