BRAVE, BEAUTIFUL AND BORN TO BE PUNK 

Musician,actor, activist, and the iconic face of New York City cool, Debbie Harry is thefrontwoman of Blondie, a band that forged a new sound that brought together theworlds of rock, punk, disco, reggae and hip-hop to create some of the mostbeloved pop songs of all time. As a muse, she collaborated with some ofthe boldest artists of the past four decades. The scope of Debbie Harry’simpact on our culture has been matched only by her reticence to reveal her richinner life—until now.  

Inan arresting mix of visceral, soulful storytelling and stunning visuals, Face It upends the standardmusic memoir while delivering a truly prismatic portrait. With all the grit,grime, and glory recounted in intimate detail, Face It re-creates thedowntown scene of 1970s New York City, where Blondie played alongside theRamones, Television, Talking Heads, Iggy Pop and DavidBowie. Aesthetically dazzling, and including never-before-seenphotographs, bespoke illustrations and fan art installations, Face It brings DebbieHarry’s world and artistic sensibilities to life.  

Followingher path from glorious commercial success to heroin addiction, the near-deathof partner Chris Stein, a heart-wrenching bankruptcy, and Blondie’s breakup asa band to her multifaceted acting career in more than thirty films, a stunningsolo career and the triumphant return of her band, and her tireless advocacyfor the environment and LGBTQ rights, FaceIt is a cinematic story of a woman who made her own path, andset the standard for a generation of artists who followed in her footsteps—amemoir as dynamic as its subject. 

“I was saying things in songs that female singers didn’t reallysay back then. I wasn’t submissive or begging him to come back, I was kickinghis ass, kicking him out, kicking my own ass too. My Blondie character was aninflatable doll but with a dark, provocative, aggressive side. I was playingit up yet I was very serious.”—From FaceIt

I have loved Debbie Harry since I was in my early teens. I'm so glad to say that after reading the book, I'm an even bigger fan. The book is honest, and open, and doesn't seem to be holding anything back. And funny. I never knew that Debbie Harry was as funny as she sometimes is in this book. Definitely worth the read!
