I found the book so engrossing; I really did read it in one sitting. That’s kind of unheard of from me. It all takes place in a beautiful bubble of privilege and thank god. It’s glorious to be allowed to enter into it because fuck the rest of our rotten, barren world in this moment.– Bret Easton EllisThe highly acclaimed début memoir by Young Kim, this book is a completely truthful and explicit account about a romantic affair Kim conducted with legendary punk rocker and writer, Richard Hell. It is unique in that while it is a diary, in its cinematic sweep, it reads like a novel.

Known for his own erotic writing, Hell instigated the book inadvertently by asking Kim to write something sexually provocative about their first night together. Set in a Warholian swirl in the worlds of art, music, and fashion, spanning continents, the narrative is as much about Kim’s processing her grief for Malcolm McLaren (most famous for his role as the conceptualizer, art director, and manager of the Sex Pistols, as well as designing the punk style with his then-partner Vivienne Westwood), her romantic and business partner for the last 12 years of his life until his untimely death in 2010.A Year On Earth With Mr. Hell is a forensic dissection of the author’s intense sexual relationship with a charismatic, frustrating, talented man, and you won’t have read anything quite like it. It’s breathtakingly frank, clear-eyed and gripping. We should all be grateful that Young Kim is able to write about the risks and delights of desire without fear or shame – and in cool prose that avoids the color purple and all shades of grey.—Nick HornbySex, fashion, celebrities, travel—in the midst of all this swirling glamour and erotic experimentation is the attentive eye of a discerning young woman.--Edmund WhiteThe most graphically effective sex writing I've read in a long time. The same material as fiction wouldn't have such an immediate and even threatening when someone is making something up, that gives the reader an out, and this doesn't.-- Greil MarcusA fabulous escapist fantasy involving two cool people in amazing clothes having a fine time taking them off in glamorous hotel rooms.--Helen Rumbelow, The Times The spirit of Anais Nin and Georges Bataille is reborn in this wonderful book. Young Kim has written something that is much more than a memoir—a truly modern work of art. --Matthew D’Ancona
