Description

I Am the Fly is about a brief time in the late 20th century when you could live in the East Village on a waiter’s salary and still afford to go clubbing, when sushi restaurants had smoking sections and MTV was commercial free. When you could rub shoulders with A-listers but still have no place to post it.
I am your narrator, David Klein, and I am the fly.
