Unless something newsworthy happens I’m not going to post over the weekend. I have to catch up on my reading. I have two non-Chelsea related titles at the top my list. First up is Stuart: A Life Backwards by Alexander Masters, which has received acclaim in Great Britain. I visited several independent bookstores in Manhattan trying to locate a copy, but was ultimately forced to order a copy online. My second pick is Yongsoo Park’s Las Cucarachas, a portrait of a young boy growing up in a NYC housing project in the 1980s.

In re Alexander Masters, he is in fact the great nephew of Edgar Lee Masters, who lived at the Chelsea for many years. I am his mother. His father was Dexter Masters, Lee’s nephew. That is, he is not unrelated to the hotel at all. Furthermore, all three of us stayed at the Chelsea for over a month in 1970 or 1971.
Alexander’s book Stuart is scheduled to come out in the US on 30 May. You will find it listed at amazon.com.LikeLike
