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.
