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.
From his groundbreaking documentation of the Civil Rights Movement and his role in pioneering the New Journalism Movement, to his intimate portrayals of motorcycle subcultures, Lyon's work has left an indelible mark on the world of photography.
A love story of a beautiful friendship with the great American hero John Lewis - Danny Lyon writes with tremendous and generous feeling, humour, and a selection of unpublished and unseen pictures ties in Danny Lyon’s life to 'The Bikeriders'.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.
