Legends Of The Chelsea Hotel: Living With The Artists And Outlaws Of New York's Rebel Mecca

From the glut of media out there on the Chelsea Hotel, this book stands out. Ed Hamilton, the author and a current tenant, pays homage to the vast and varied non-famous guests. Hamilton's stories are creative nonfiction vignettes that paint pictures of Chelsea life that are funny and heartbreaking, believable and absurd. Guests include a Deadhead zombie, a cowboy doctor and the larger-than-life proprietor. This is slightly self-congratulatory but is, overall, an entertaining read.
