Richard Hell Says Ex-Lover’s Acclaimed Book Is “Revenge Porn”

A Year On Earth With Mr. Hell is an erotic memoir written by Young Kim which has been steadily building buzz over the past couple years, leading to a feature in The New York Times that was published over the weekend. The book details Kim’s sexual experiences with the punk icon Richard Hell, who she first met in 2015 when he was presented with the Malcolm McLaren Award at a ceremony in New York. Kim was romantic partners with McLaren, another notable punk figure, for the last decade of his life (he died in 2010) and serves as the executor of his estate.
