Danny Lyon: This Is My Life I'm Talking About

Memoir published by Damiani
This Is My Life I'm Talking About by Danny Lyon is a picaresque memoir written from inside the heart of the revolutionary twentieth century by one of its most crucial witnesses. A love story of a beautiful friendship with the great American hero John Lewis. Danny Lyon writes with the tremendous and generous feeling, humor, and a selection of unpublished and unseen pictures ties in Danny Lyon’s life to 'The Bikeriders'. His story begins in Russia under the Czar, when in 1905 Lyon’s uncle Abram is involved in the murder of a policeman during a pogrom and fled to Brooklyn, where, during World War Two, Lyon was born. The title is available in spring 2024, parallel to the release of the film The Bikeriders inspired by Lyon's photographs starring Austin Butler, Jodie Comer, Tom Hardy and Norman Reedus.
