This well-loved copy of “The Line Drawn” by Miles Stanford offers a unique glimpse into the world of underground art and activism in 1980s New York City. Stanford’s semi-autobiographical novel follows a group of young artists and squatters as they navigate the gritty East Village scene, fighting against gentrification and advocating for affordable housing through their provocative street art and guerilla tactics. Published in 1987, the book captures the raw energy and defiant spirit of a counterculture movement that would ultimately leave an indelible mark on the city’s landscape and art world. Despite its worn exterior, this copy retains the uncompromising voice that made Stanford’s debut novel a cult classic, revered by fans of transgressive fiction and urban anthropology alike. A must-have for collectors interested in the intersection of art, activism, and the authentic grittiness of 1980s New York.
