Singer-Songwriter, Novelist
Two weeks ago I paid a visit to City Lights Books in San Francisco, where I bought several items:
I loved the Ferlinghetti documentary, and I can’t wait to read the others.
I just returned from a trip to the West Coast, where I stayed at the Fairmont San Francisco. The hotel was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2002, and I highly recommend you stay there if you ever get the chance.
It looks like another business trip to San Francisco later this year, and you know what that means—a visit to City Lights Bookstore. City Lights, the first all-paperbound bookshop in the country, was co-founded by Lawrence Ferlinghetti, whose A Coney Island of the Mind greatly influenced me in my early twenties. With any luck, I’ll run into Mr. Ferlinghetti himself.
