Review

"This oddly compelling documentary-cum-coffe-table book pulls no punches."

"Weirdly fascinating..."

Publisher's note

A year in the life of a rock superstar, told in a titillating montage of Hollywood storytelling and outrageous photo-strips.

Annotation

Rock guitarist Dave Navarro's true-life account of a year attempting to kick his heroin and cocaine habits is lavishly illustrated with photo booth pictures of key players in his life as well as hangers-on, though those readers lacking intimate knowledge of Hollywood's rock aristocracy and its strict hierarchy may be hard put to tell the difference between these documentary snaps of pouting women, blank-eyed men, desperate-faced young girls, and not a few innocent bystanders who don't quite seem to fit into the druggy tug-of-war narrative. In Neil Strauss's retelling, the Navarro household was a free-for-all of sex, drugs, and any other forms of dissipation its owner could conjure; a combination of early-1920s jazz age Hollywood and late-60s free love with a touch of Generation Y dystopia thrown in. Its participants are frozen in the funhouse glare of the photo booth, their expressions defiant, studied, self-conscious, bored, or sometimes just despondent. Navarro goes through detox, retox, and detox again. His life revolves around his addiction. His photo booth ghosts revolve around his life. Quite the opposite of a self-help book, DON'T TRY THIS AT HOME is Edgar Allen Poe rewritten for the MTV generation.
