Christiane F. - Autobiography of a Girl of the Streets and Heroin Addict, translated by Susanne Flatauer. 1982 paperback. 239 pages, very nice condition.
The sensational shocker that stunned Europe. At 14 she turned on to hard drugs and illicit sex. Now she tells her terrifying true story. This incredible autobiography of Christiane F. provides a vivid portrait of teen friendship, drug abuse, and alienation in and around Berlin's notorious Zoo Station. Christiane's rapid descent into heroin abuse and prostitution is shocking, but the boredom, longing for acceptance, thrilling risks, and even her musical obsessions are familiar to everyone. This book was adapted into a film, featuring David Bowie (as composer and actor), in 1981.
