The Chelsea Hotel is an emblematic place of New York’s avant-garde. Crossroads and bridge between musicians, painters, philosophers, writers, poets, strangers on all sides, this hotel has seen thousands of lives and destinies pass as passionate as they are sometimes dark and tragic.
Claudio Edinger offers us an insight into its rooms, its corridors, its stairs, through the portraits of its occupants. There are also memorabilia texts from Arthur C. Clarke, William Burroughs, Viva, Clifford Irving and Richard R. Lingeman. A superb book on what can be considered one of the New York myths.
