A moving, vividly rendered novel from the author of "The
Basketball Diaries"
Suffused with Jim Carroll's humor and sharp wit, his delicate
yet hallucinatory imagery, and his cool, sophisticated, streetsmart
voice, "The Petting Zoo" is a frank, haunting examination of one
artist's personal and spiritual quest. Billy Wolfram, an enigmatic
thirty-eight- year-old star of the late -1980s New York art scene,
views a show of Velazquez paintings and is so humbled by their
spiritual power that he suffers an emotional breakdown and retreats
to his Chelsea loft. In seclusion, he recalls the most emblematic
moments and figures of his childhood and early career as he
searches to recover the spark of inspiration in his own work and
life.
