About the book
The Chelsea Hotel is a place where excess is welcome, where the psyche can be annihilated or resurrected. It has a magical potential for transformation, whether it is rebirth or destruction. Artists such as Jack Kerouac, Bob Dylan, Ethan Hawke and Mark Twain have been drawn inside by a seemingly irresistible magnetic force - some even say there is a mystical spirit that beckons people in. Published in conjunction with the hotel's 125th anniversary, Inside documents the day-to-day eccentric lives of the residents of the Chelsea Hotel.
