Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

One of David Bowie's Top 100 Must Read books and the inspiration behind the film Teenage, directed by Matt Wolf and narrated by Ben Whishaw, this is the acclaimed history of the century and a half of ferment, folly and angst that resulted in the arrival of 'the teenager' in 1945.

Ringing with music, from Ragtime to Swing, Teenage roams London, New York, Paris and Berlin with hooligans and Apaches; explores free love and eternal youth; meets flappers and zootsuiters, the unemployed and the Lost Generation. Meanwhile, the stories come fast and furious, comic, poignant, and painfully moving.

This new edition will be published alongside reissues of Savage classics England's Dreaming and 1966.
