Just as enjoyable as February House. I don't know why I waited so long to read this book.

Quite a substantial multi-biography, describing the people who were The Chelsea Hotel; it's architect, Thomas Wolfe, Dylan Thomas, Kerouac, Harry Smith, Kleinsinger (jungle on the top floor), Basketball Diaries author Carroll, Eddie (Andy Warhol), and many more. Reminded me of Andy Warhol's diaries, with a lot of name dropping and brushes with famous personalities, found out a lot about authors I know. Interesting but a little too much like reading a biographic dictionary.

Other residents are treated in more superficial, anecdotal, and often repetitious fashion. Carson McCullers’ daily sherry ration began to wear on me. But even as a collection of names the book would be quite worth looking at, and there is a reference list of sources that provides many avenues for more detailed follow-up.… (meer)
