À propos de cet audio

 In his teens, Jim Carroll roamed the streets of New York, shooting baskets with some of New York's best "playground" stars, and shooting heroin with some of the city's most memorable street characters. The Basketball Diaries is his chronicle of those years. Written while in his teens, it is a literary tour-de-force and a stunning portrait of contemporary urban street life. The characters and incidents are moving and funny and sad, but always very real.©1963 -1978 by Jim Carroll (P)1994 by Audio Literature Politiciens Politique et militantisme Drôle

Ce que les critiques en disent

"At thirteen, Jim Carroll writes better prose than 89 percent of the novelists working today." (Jack Kerouac)

Jim Carroll narrating this really makes the trip through drug addiction and selling his body for the drugs he is addicted to come to life as if he is telling you the story right into your own head.

Writer’s voice makes it real

A look through a window, at scenery, during a time, most, including myself, have never seen.

A time when a lot of drugs were legal, and a lot more places weren't yet gentrified.

It reminded me of that movie 'Kids'. Except, much better told and written, not as perverse, and more artfully done.

Worth the purchase.

Taken to a diff. time, to a place I've never seen
