Village Idiot: A Manhattan Memoir

By David Sheinkopf

Book Overview

Ever wonder what it's like to grow up in Greenwich Village and live the fast life of a teenage kid who's breaking into the brilliant inside world of modeling and television, meeting beautiful girls, hanging out with neighborhood kids willing to try anything once, and doing recreational drugs of every stripe? Here, by turns, is the revealing, deeply touching, hilarious, and heart breaking story of a twelve-year-old who does just that-who goes from print modeling to soap operas, makes serious money and spends it like it's going out of style, suffers painful losses, crashes into one catastrophe after another, runs into real emotional and physical trouble. . .and survives because, at root, he has a good heart. It's a tale of faith in oneself and triumph over tough odds that leave some of his nearest and dearest dead, strung out, or doing hard time.
