Overview
The Dean of American Rock Critics, Robert Christgau has been writing about pop culture since he was twelve and getting paid for it since he was twenty-two, covering rock for Esquire in its heyday and personifying the music beat at The Village Voice for over three decades. Christgau chronicled many of the key cultural shifts of the last half century and revolutionized the cultural status of the music critic in the process. Going into the City is a look back at the upbringing that grounded him, the history that transformed him, and the music, books, and films that showed him the way.
It is also a loving portrait of a lost New York--an homage to the city of Christgau's youth from Queens to the Lower East Side that exists mostly in memory today. And it's a love story about the Greenwich Village girl who roamed this realm of possibility with him.
