Title: No doubt he'll have some interesting memoirs to write one day
Review: Having read Ports of Hell, I can see why writers like Herbert Huncke and Alexander Trocchi -- and probably Genet and Celine too -- must appeal to Johnny Strike. A real sense of lived experience informs and enriches his writing. William Burroughs wrote a blurb for this book stating that it draws a map of real places -- which is incredible, because these are some far-out places -- and yet you get the sense that Burroughs was right. Strike's stuff leaves you with the impression that, however incredible these places may have been, he went there and came back to tell the tale.
