Last Métro to Bleecker Street

David, an Underground filmmaker, Richard, a former Catholic seminarian and Yeshiva student, now turned artist, and Kelly, a poet and coffee house waitress, roam the streets and haunt the cafes in a continual, but chaotic search for experience, sex and meaning.
Later, all three become religious, which creates new conflicts and deep fissures in their souls.
The mix of fiction and memoir places the book in the tradition of Jack Kerouac, Henry Miller, Arthur Rimbaud, Lawrence Durrell, Anais Nin, and the gentle writings of Christopher Isherwood and Paul Zweig.
The unique characters, uncompromising passion and flowing style makes Last Métro to Bleecker Street possibly the best book ever written about the profound despair of the young and sets it apart from anything previously written, bringing the reader to the very essence of existence.

"Peter Goldman, whose brilliant films illuminated the radical passions and reckless energy of the '60s, has now captured the loves and longing of this world-altering era and beyond in a novel as wild and compelling as the events themselves. A great book." — Clark Whelton, former staff writer, The Village Voice and author of CB Baby and Skyjack
