Set from 1983 through 1986, 200 Letters to Paris follows an all-American, Italian boy from Maspeth, Queens as he squats his way through England and West Berlin. Having “worked for the mob” making subs and mopping floors in his teens, he knows the value of a buck and becomes a ‘capitalist anarchist.’ In Brixton, Paris starts a squat and builds the desperate city’s first anarchist bar. Eventually growing tired of English accents, being damp and making grubby punkers egg sandwiches for 10 pence, he leaves for West Berlin. Through collected letters from family and friends, Paris faces life’s universal hypocrisies with whipping wit, compassion and the charm of a spoiled brat in a leather jacket and pink mohawk. Forward by Stu Spasm of Lubricated Goat.
