helloo, welcome to luca's explanation of his FAVORITE author of all time :3

JIM CARROLL!!!!!!!!
(full name james denis carroll)

Jim grew up in the streets of New York,
having drugs being
a rampant part of his life,
so naturally he's seen a thing or two.

Jim
is an American author who wrote
poetry in his later days and.
He published a few books,
but my favorite of all of his creations is by far
The Basketball diaries.
1978
His story is about playing
on a basketball team when he's 14 or so, when
his best friend bobby dies from cancer.
This is actually an autobiography.
His story gained traction because of all
the crazy shit that took place in this book
actually happened,
Jim being the one they revolved around.
I highly recommend checking this book out.

“You're growing up. And rain sort of remains on the branches of
a tree that will someday rule the Earth. And it's good that there is rain.
It clears the month of your sorry rainbow expressions,
and it clears the streets of the silent armies... so we can dance.”

― Jim Carroll
