The sensational sequel to the bestselling memoir The Basketball Diaries During the early 1970s, Jim Carroll was a young and rising star in the crazy and creative downtown scene in New York City. He worked at the Factory for Andy Warhol and discussed art, literature, and the cosmos with Robert Smithson, Allen Ginsberg, and Bob Dylan. He spent nights at Max's Kansas City, listening to the Velvet Underground. And he did far too many drugs -- until his survival instinct impelled him to leave New York for a Northern California retreat. Intimate and revealing, the episodes in Forced Entries, Carroll's diaries from that period, provide a sometimes hilarious, sometimes frightening glimpse of people who tested the limits of life and sanity. "Forced Entries captures the early-seventies period in New York better than anything I've read in a long time." -- William S. Burroughs… (plus d'informations)
I've read this book over and over, though I've only read the Basketball Diaries once. This diary takes place in the early 70's, when Jim Carroll is the new hotshot poet on the block (imagine a world where it's possible to even be a hotshot poet!), hanging out at the Factory with Andy Warhol, having Allen Ginsberg sleep on his couch, and getting tongue tied around Bob Dylan. And of course there are drugs. Lots and lots of Warholian superstar drugs. The writing style is unpretentious and funny, which is what inspires multiple readings. ( )
Jim Carroll is one of my favorite poets and he died recently so I decided to read all of his books and listen to his records. I loved this book. He has a great way of making sad, scary situations comedic. Somehow he makes it work. This is a memoir before they became fashionable and believe me, Jim Carroll is never fashionable! He's like that tiger in a china shop but you just love him! In the 70's I wanted to be just like him, with the old, cracked leather jacket and ripped jeans and surly attitude. I couldn't keep it up... I recommend this book for all people that enjoy historical stories about someone real.
