City Kid: A Writer's Memoir of Ghetto Life and Post-Soul Success by Nelson George

4.0

A good memoir from one of my favorite music journalists. As such, the book is weakest and most uncomfortable when he's writing about personal emotions and faults and the such. He's at his best describing scenes around him, like being around Spike Lee when She's Gotta Have it was being released, or being in L.A. during the riots with Chris Rock.
