Book Reviews of Black Coffee Blues (Henry Rollins)

Book Review: Ambitious but falls short
Summary: 3 Stars

I loved "Get in the Van". To be a great writer, you need to be a great reader. I know Henry's library must be extensive. In that library, there must be a number of works by Charles Bukowski. Now when I first read Bukowski, I wanted to be Bukowski. I feel that Henry fell into this trap. The writing imitates Bukowski's work too closely. It's still a great way to pass the time and I'm sure Henry has improved since this collection of writings. I will continue to read what this writer has to say. He's a strong presence and is always challenging himself in various artistic outlets. Henry Rollins is a very important voice in our time.

Summary of Black Coffee Blues (Henry Rollins)

"If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light, If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you." Henry Rollins, renowned spoken-word performer, musician, actor and author of several books, has a unique, hard-edged view of the world. This collection of writings from 1989 - 1991 is the classic Rollins book. From dramatic fiction shorts detailing stark, disturbing realities to gut-wrenching tour journals destroying all misconceptions of the glamour of fame and the music industry; from the challenging poetry to revealing dream sequences, Rollins' writing is unflinching in its honesty, uncompromising in its truth and irresistibly addictive.
