DOROTHY IANNONE, MY DOWNTOWN NEW YORK OF THE 60'S (2007)
American expatriate, Dorothy Iannone has been living in Berlin since the 70s. Her map recalls her Downtown in the 60s listing her favorite galleries, cinemas and bars. More importantly she tells the story of a kinky meeting with Allen Ginsberg who bit her belly on their first encounter. Iannone was also responsible for smuggling Henry Miller's books across the border when they were still illegal in the US.  Her experience with the police is recalled in her psychedelic map.
