so good. (1), Interesting but overlong. Gray could have done with a firmer editor here. He's a prodigious researcher but there are passages here where you feel they are only included because they took so long to research (1), the second time just to enjoy (1), he keeps the pages turning with a combination of gossipy conversation and sentences you read twice (1), i think San Francisco. Came back to it a few months ago to research my interview with Brian Wilson. Nick Kent's writing is just irresistible (1), on mail order from the US (1), I bought this probably 10 years ago (1), many of which require reading twice before they can be understood. I finished the book with a desire to read something by a prose stylist; too much of this book gave me a headache. (1), especially given that black people had so little of their lives documented by the state. Gray is also an entertainingly curmudgeonly guide as he trawls around Georgia. Some appallingly inelegant sentences though (1), and the extent to which it was - and to a lesser extent is - suffused by racism. McTell's life is related about as fully as seems possible from this distance (1), a through portrait emerges of the South (1), and he'd feel it was time wasted otherwise. That said (1), an unattended room with an honesty box behind a house with chickens clucking around in the garden - in October 2005 in Woodbridge with Rowan's family. A happier time. I read Dorian Gray and a couple of the shorter pieces. (1), August 2006. Dark and edgy (1), Found this in a second-hand bookshop - well (1), I should drop him an email sometime... (1), I bought this in order to write a feature about it for EDP sunday. Never did claim back my tenner. Very entertaining and an excellent foreword by Todd Pruzan. Which reminds me (1), Read parts of this in preparation for my visit to Auschwitz in March 2007. (1), Again this came from writing an EDP Sunday feature/ David Taylor wrote the introduction. I used it as the basis for a piece about the future of "regional literature". (1), Read this while staying in a log cabin in Big Sur during our honeymoon (1), the clarity of his memories - that icy winter when he first came to NY is so vivid - and the erudition and humour all stayed with me. (1), at the Union Square Borders. The lyricism (1), Everything I had hoped it would be. I bought this in New York in October 2004 (1), literally and figuratively. (1), Kerouac staring into the abyss (1), and and lacerating insight. So (1)
