"How lucky I was, arriving in New York just as everything was about to go to hell." That would be in the autumn of 1972, when a very young and green James Wolcott arrived from Maryland, full of literary dreams, equipped with a letter of introduction from Norman Mailer, and having no idea what was about to hit him. Landing at a time of accelerating municipal squalor and, paradoxically, gathering cultural energy in all spheres as "Downtown" became a category of art and life unto itself, he embarked upon his sentimental education, seventies New York style.

Over-edited jumble of words
Revisado: 12-05-24
My time with this book went up and down from the start. Any sponge of NYC nostalgia would be inclined to reach for this story and hope to love it, but all that comes of this work is a word salad of fringe braggery. I don’t doubt that James Walcott has a cool story, it’s just hard to properly absorb it through this iteration of overworked air.
