{"product_id":"downtown-local-book","title":"DOWNTOWN LOCAL Book","description":"\u003cp\u003eAaron Cometbus has been the conscience of American punk zine culture since before most people knew what a zine was, and he's still doing it better than anyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eDowntown Local\u003c\/em\u003e is his street-level social history of 21st century New York City, the kind of writing that only happens when someone actually lives in a place rather than just writing about it. Cometbus built his reputation through decades of his self-titled zine, and that same voice is here: precise, funny, deeply human, and completely indifferent to what the literary world thinks is worth documenting. If you've ever read \u003cem\u003eCometbus\u003c\/em\u003e on a train or in a squat kitchen at 2am, you already know why this matters. If you haven't, this is a decent place to start.
