Review
NewYorker.com, 9/30/13
“[A] wonderful memoir.”
Slate, 12/2/13
“Your best guide when it comes to Inside Llewyn Davis—apart from what follows, of course—is Van Ronk’s posthumous memoir, The Mayor of MacDougal Street.”
New York Times, 11/30/13
“[A] sharp cantankerous memoir.”
New York Review of Booksblog, 12/16/2013
“The movie extensively mines Van Ronk’s remarkable posthumous memoirThe Mayor of MacDougal Street(seamlessly compiled from interviews by Elijah Wald; Da Capo, 2005) for scenes, anecdotes, and details of background, and its protagonist, Llewyn Davis (played by Oscar Isaac) sings songs closely associated with Van Ronk.”
Seattle Times,12/15/2013
“[A] delightful, keenly-observed, cantankerous autobiography…which, if you love ‘Inside Llewyn Davis’ you owe it to yourself to read.”
Paste Magazine, 12/12/2013
“[An] acclaimed and enjoyable memoir.”
NewYorker.com, 1/22/2014
“The Mayor of MacDougal Street is one of the dozen best books ever written about a New York life and time: dense with wisdom, humor, judgment, and an amazingly vivid recreation of the rites and rituals and characters of a whole lost world and scene.”
