The Basketball Diaries
(Bolinas), (Tombouctou), (1978). The author's classic memoir of coming of age in the New York drug culture of the late 1960s, about which a Jack Kerouac blurb said: "at 13 years of age, Jim Carroll writes better prose than 89% of the novelists working today." One of the defining memoirs of the 1960s, later made into a well-received movie. Only issued in wrappers, this is the issue with silver lettering. Address and phone number on rear blank; moderate edge and spine creasing; still about near fine. [#017752] SOLD
