CHELSEA HOTEL MANHATTAN	Nov 22 2007 8:31 PM Chelsea Hotel Manhattan, Joe Ambrose's book of extreme travel writing will be launched at Waterstones, Islington Green, London N1, on November 29th at 6.30pm. Five minutes from Angel Tube. Buses include 73, 19, and 38. Details available on www.joeambrose.net and www.myspace.com/chelseahotelmanhattan. Ambrose will discuss the hotel and Post Impressionism, Warhol, Sid and Nancy, Brendan Behan and the Ramones; questions will be taken, books signed, and drinks served. Headpress, publishers of the book, are hosting a party after the Waterstones event, to which everybody's invited. This takes place five minute’s walk from Waterstones. More drinks, live bands, and a specially commissioned Chelsea Hotel DJ set will happen. Music guests include Sid Vicious’s guitarist from his Chelsea Hotel days. The party kicks off immediately after the Waterstones event. Party details will be available there. Chelsea Hotel Manhattan features a longish previously unpublished interview with William Burroughs, an essay by Herbert Huncke on Harry Smith, Thelma Blitz on Leonard Cohen at the hotel, George Wallace and Laki Vazakas on Beat poet Marty Matz, a previously unpublished conversation with Allen Ginsberg, a discussion concerning the Chelsea Hotel with Warhol superstar Gerard Malanga, a conversation with Liam Clancy, a conversation with Brendan Behan's biographer Ulick O'Connor, Barry Miles on Claud Pilieu and Mark Beach, Frank Rynne on Herbert Huncke, Spencer Kansa in conversation with William Burroughs, Paul Bowles, Allen Ginsberg, an eyewitness account of the night Sid was accused of killing Nancy, and an interview with Stanley Bard, recently ousted from his position running the Chelsea.
