Serendipity author, visual artist, and musician Patrick Dougher was featured in a deeply personal interview in The Guardian, where he spoke about his career, his 20-year struggle with drug and alcohol addiction, and his “charmed life” surviving on the streets of NYC in the 70s and 80s. “There’s so many moments where I could have died or ended up in jail or just been disabled, and so many folks that have had the same opportunities as me and just haven’t made it.” 

Patrick Dougher shares more stories from his extraordinary life in his new memoir, Concrete Dreamland: Coming of Age in Underground New York. Called “a writer to watch” by National Book Award-winner Jacqueline Woodson, Dougher infuses raw, gripping stories of gangsters, God, street style, sexuality, racism, homelessness, fame, and death with gritty honesty, poetry, and humor.
