Lipstick Traces
A Secret History of the Twentieth Century
Book • 2009
Although the Sex Pistols shape the beginning and the end of the story, *Lipstick Traces* is not a book about music; it is about a common voice, discovered and transmitted in many forms.
Working from scores of previously unexamined and untranslated essays, manifestos, and filmscripts, from old photographs, dada sound poetry, punk songs, collages, and classic texts from Marx to Henri Lefebvre, Marcus takes us deep behind the acknowledged events of our era, into a hidden tradition of moments that would seem imaginary except for the fact that they are real: a tradition of shared utopias, solitary refusals, impossible demands, and unexplained disappearances.
Written with grace and force, humor and an insistent sense of tragedy and danger, *Lipstick Traces* tells a story as disruptive and compelling as the century itself.
