On September 11, 2009, poet, musician, and famed heroin addict Jim Carroll died at the age of sixty. In celebration of the publication of his posthumous novel THE PETTING ZOO (Viking, November 2010, $25.95), a group of his friends, led by 2010 National Book Award winner Patti Smith and guitarist Lenny Kaye, will gather together tonight at the Union Square Barnes & Noble to pay tribute to the BASKETBALL DIARIES author, who also released such fine albums as CATHOLIC BOY and DRY DREAMS.
