«Le passant du Bowery» is the historical chronicle by Clément Ghys, published by Seuil in paperback (288 pages, in French).
The book reconstructs the history of 222 Bowery, in southeastern Manhattan, a building symbolic of New York bohemia. The author visits it floor by floor, evoking those who lived in or frequented it: from Fernand Léger and Mark Rothko to William Burroughs, Patti Smith, Basquiat and Andy Warhol, figures of the twentieth-century avant-garde.
The full title includes the subtitle «L'autre immeuble de la bohème new-yorkaise»; the book was published in 2023 in Seuil's Cadre rouge collection.
Aimed at readers interested in the cultural history of New York, the Beat generation and twentieth-century avant-garde art and literature.
