Deep in a Dream The Long Night of Chet Baker

"It becomes clearly early on that the author has conceived an intense dislike for his subject. Instead of shedding light on the reasons for Baker's addiction, Mr. Gavin contents himself with compiling a humungously long inventory of his failings and betrayals. Only the most perfunctory suggestions are made that a suffocating mother and an abusive father contributed to his inability to deal with emotions.Gavin, James is the author of 'Deep in a Dream The Long Night of Chet Baker', published 2002 under ISBN 9780679442875 and ISBN 0679442871.
