This superb, quixotic, bare-all memoir ought to change that.' - The Spectator 'Transfixing... He's a natural storyteller with a puckish sense of humour. To read his latest book is to encourage a character who could have stepped out of a Jack Kerouac novel... His memoir reveals him to be a die-hard radical artist.' - The Telegraph 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great American hero John Lewis - Danny Lyon writes with the tremendous and generous feeling, humor, and a selection of unpublished and unseen pictures ties in Danny Lyon’s life to 'The Bikeriders'.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.
