Memories of an edgewalker,
read by the author. Killer voice!

#folkieFriday Dave Van Ronk was a part the folk scene revival that was emerging in Greenwich Village in the late 1950s.His book is a wonderful look at living cheap to pursue your art.Something that seems nearly impossible today.The Coen Brothers movie , Inside Llewyn Davis ,was loosely based on this book.
Always the activist , he was 1 of 13 arrested during the Stonewall Riots, he was dining nearby, joined in when he saw what was going on.👍✊

In a time of torment,
the damndest radical
disturbing the peace,
in search of the miraculous.

I've read Murakami's NORWEGIAN WOOD multiple times, but this is my first time reading Jay Rubin's translation. 🥰

There's a new Murakami Book Club on Discord for anyone interested: https://discord.gg/r4TMAAq
