About this deal

At thirteen, he gets into the habit of masturbating while watching the stars from the roof of his apartment building. Their true purity exposed, they were off in the breeze, giggling and peeking back now and then at our free swinging tools. Basis for the Hollywood version [1995 New Line Cinema] which starred Leonardo DiCaprio in the central role.

The semi-autobiographical novel of reckless youth that inspired the 1995 film starring Leonardo DiCaprio; uncommon in its first printing from a small press, and quite scarce signed. However, when she tries to force a strung-out Carroll to have sex with her, he breaks off the affair.The book ends with him still addicted, still only 16, nodding off in a filthy shooting gallery, wondering what he did to himself. However, some critics wondered how much the diaries were edited before publication, especially since the book includes many outrageous incidents. Up here in upper Manhattan, guys jump off cliffs into the Harlem River, where the water is literally shitty because right nearby are the giant sewer deposits where about 1/2 million toilets empty their goods daily.

On Halloween, they attack the neighborhood girls with flour-filled socks then get drunk and use rock-filled socks to break windows. Carroll describes how he hustles homosexuals for money, and he says that his hustles have gotten weird lately. I’m so glad Carroll didn’t use his teenage writings as a source to look back into his past, but presented them as “then and there”.

Very Good copy in black, silver and white wrappers, as issued; a paperback original; Preface written by Tom Clark; edge wear to covers, creasing to front cover and light soiling to page edges; pictures available upon request. Folks know he has game, but they never know exactly what game is going to show up at any given time.
