It's the first half of the 1980s: there's a stupid old man in the WHITE HOUSE rabid to destroy the American MIDDLE CLASS: the NEW WORLD ORDER is crushing ART with IRONY, and our most recent resistance to Capitalist Conformity, PUNK ROCK, through co-option, selling out is suddenly de rigueur while hipness shrinks to a synonym for posing as if neither ART nor LOVE had ever existed in the WESTERN WORLD. POISON AND ANTIDOTE is nine interrelated stories of the artists, the musicians, the writers, waitresses, and druggies who negotiated the shark-infested waters of 1980's SAN FRANCISCO a la HENRI MURGERE, JAMES JOYCE, MORRISSEY and FLIPPER!
