Welcome to the very first episode of the Service95 Book Club with Dua Lipa, a new podcast dedicated to the books that stay with us – and the brilliant minds behind them.
To launch the series, Dua is joined by Jennifer Clement, whose unique book Widow Basquiat lifts the curtain on the artist Jean-Michel Basquiat and his complex relationship with his muse, lover and bohemian spirit Suzanne Malouk. It’s a chaotic love story like no other, as well as a love letter to an almost mythical New York City that no longer exists.
In this episode, Jennifer and Dua talk about how our childhoods shape us, the patterns of behaviour we repeat, and the bars, clubs, galleries and artists that made up the New York creative scene in the 1980s. As Jennifer says, it was a time of explosive freedom and excess, where anything felt possible… until the arrival of AIDS, when everything changed.
