“You may know from Vogue and other glossies, Craig-Martin’s pointed, less-than-flattering photographs of high society. Now read how she got there.”—Roberta Smith
I think in stories; I tell stories, and here are some stories. You may stumble across a narrative arc of some kind, but I’ll be damned if you detect any redemption.
Born to two young, ambitious artists, Jessica Craig-Martin grew up picnicking on oranges from Harrods with David Hockney and reading books on Jasper Johns’s studio ladder to get a moment alone from the crowd. When her parents separated, her life was divided between New York and London, where she navigated the tumultuous relationships, finances, and emotions of her parents and the cross-Atlantic cultural divide.
Largely unsupervised and searching for her place in the world, Craig-Martin tried on many identities: a latchkey kid trying to make sense of her mother’s volatile mood swings and her father’s new relationships; a precocious, hash-smoking student experiencing her first love at a posh boarding school; a punk Dean & DeLuca cashier in Soho selling smoked eel to Jean-Michel Basquiat. She worked as a fashion assistant at British Vogue and assistant to the Features editor at Vanity Fair before becoming an event photographer for the same publications and others, the camera now in her hands.
Wildly witty and observant, I Regret I Am Able to Attend is what Dorothy Parker might have written if she had been a waitress sneaking sips of champagne at Indochine. With a photographer’s keen eye and a bon vivant’s flair, Craig-Martin offers an insider’s perspective into an unforgettable world of fame, excess, and creativity.

批評家のレビュー
“Jessica Craig-Martin is a natural-born storyteller. Luckily for us, she was born in a decadent art-fueled universe chock-full of wild stories. This is the memoir of Alice raised in Wonderland, a coming-of-age of a young woman trying find her way amid the upheaval and glamour of New York and London bohemianism. Your jaw will only stop hanging open to crack up in laughter or wince in compassion.”—Christopher Bollen, author of Havoc
“You may know from Vogue and other glossies, Craig-Martin’s pointed, less-than-flattering photographs of high society. Now read how she got there, surviving an adventurous, largely self-reliant upbringing in the wilds of the London and New York art worlds. Her pen is as keenly observant as her camera.”—Roberta Smith
“Craig-Martin writes with extraordinary perception about the invisible inheritance of being the child of two artists, and the ways art, family, ambition, identity, and the social worlds we inhabit quietly shape a life. Elegant, incisive, and deeply humane, this is a memoir of rare intelligence and lasting resonance.”—Zac Posen
“To Craig-Martin’s achievement as photographer she can now add author, and while the charm of her book is considerable, I found myself drawn to the poignancy of her role as daughter. The meticulous love and care she extends to her complicated parents and her large extended family of creators is heartwarming without being pious, insightful without being cruel. This unusual book shimmers with truth and goodness and should sit proudly on your shelf.”—Hilton Als, author of The Women
“From her childhood perch at the top of Jasper Johns’s studio ladder, and at a parade of art openings, dinners, and parties, Craig-Martin chronicles an era of invention and excess with brutal candor and wry insight, laced with acid wit. . . . Highly entertaining—a celebration and a moving reconciliation.”—A. M. Homes, author of The Mistress’s Daughter
“Compelling, hilarious and poignant, Craig-Martin's memoir hits as hard as her photographs, reveling and revealing, as she turns her unflinching eye backwards to an era of gritty glamor and bad behavior.”—Cecily Brown
