In the life of Jim Carroll, Jim has changed road shifts attention to New York a dozen years away from his literary debut, in a period between 1971 and 1973. In his wanderings in New York, Jim Carroll is no longer alone or with his fellow follies. E 'became a poet who starts to browse through the trouble of adding a line after another with their daily bread because "poetry has too many variations. Mr. Frost was right on one point: there are always promises to keep, and variations on that theme. In basketball you can correct your mistakes directly and beautifully, in midair. " Free throws and baskets are a thing, his game has become one where he must learn to disentangle between Bob Dylan, Allen Ginsberg, Andy Warhol, the Velvet Underground. Keen observer, ironic, meticulous, Jim Carroll takes each of the neuroses, the sweetness, the inventions and debolesse. Memorable descriptions of Dylan and Sara, the ruthless and shocking portrait of Warhol, hilarious (and a bit 'ridiculous) the episode with Ginsberg, but it would be wrong to reduce Jim has changed the road this one (although important) to anecdotes and a diary or bohemian. Jim Carroll actually seems more the master of language and writing than it was at the time of its inception and even if the narrative is designed to occupy a secondary plan in its activities (in the first place c 'has always been poetry, then you get the rock and roll), is now well placed to make a mark. With a little confession, hidden between the lines Jim has changed the road, Jim Carroll reveals the step that had to do, in those years: "The fact is that instead of liberation through language, is the language was to become a hostage and the room where prisoners are becoming increasingly small. The language needs room to maneuver. Only unlimited words are transformed into something that surpasses them. " The new "Road" by Jim Carroll is not that much different because the man is dall'undeground nell'undeground and comes back and stays there (maybe there is some clipping someone more dedicated to sex and less for the drugs), but the poet, the writer begins to mature a different consciousness. Both with respect to their means of expression, which would combine the demons and ghosts with the needs of writing, both with respect to a view that, from the pavement begins to raise his eyes and says, "Look around calmly, by all parties. Now. The recent past. E 'indecent think that the weak of this century have been able to inflict such suffering on their own initiative and many. There is no presumption that the most blatant failure to recognize that this game takes part another hand, which is taken from the deck from above, below and in between. We are far from being so advanced that they can make a mess so complete. " A huge leap in quality for the "Catholic boy" who lived between basketball and heroin.
