Hennessy later became a Fleet Street freelance journalist, an associate editor of Time Out and a columnist for Saga Magazine. She was described by Auberon Waugh as "a handsome if elderly (by punk standards) and inescapably middle-class journalist". She is best known for her work as chief literary critic for the Daily Mail from 1989 to 2004. As of 2014, she continues to write for the Daily Mail's "Retro Reads" column. Having reviewed thousands of English fiction books, Hennessy is a significant critic of British women's writing. Hennessy has interviewed Luciano Pavarotti, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Annie Lennox, Michael Douglas, Terence Stamp, Martin Amis, Vivienne Westwood, Elizabeth Taylor, Bob Geldof, David Bailey, Jeffrey Archer, Germaine Greer, Laurie Lee and José Carreras.

Seller: Brian Cassidy Books at Type Punch Matrix, Silver Spring, MD, U.S.A.
Condition: Near fine. First printing. First edition of this quasi-anthropological, excruciatingly arch, but nevertheless legendary photobook study of punks: their habitat, dress, and curious manners. Exceptional street photographs of punks, famous and non-famous alike, juxtaposed with comparison images of what Hennessy calls "primitive peoples resplendent in their ritual adornments" (allegedly the inspiration for the project) accompanied by frenzied '70s-journalist commentary and copious quotes from the punks themselves. Scarce. An essential document of UK punk. 10'' x 6''. Original color pictorial wraps. 94 pages. Photographically illustrated throughout. Touches of toning, rubbing, edgewear. Overall clean and sound.
