What a parade of pap. Who cares if "Sindy xxx" like your graphics?! No wonder you're a misanthrope knipfel. Effective sublimation beats ineffective self-destruction any day. Kudos.

I loved Slackjaw and intend to order Quiting The Nariobi Trio as soon as possible! I've also been reading the collumns found on the websight. After reading Home Is Where The Hate Is, I have a message for Laura. "Thank you Florence Nightmare!"She lived with Jim for some time while he was subject to sezuires. Didn't it occur to her to get some knowledge of how to deal with them? I looked up how to deal with seziures and slamming the sufferer's head into a metal post is not a prefered treatment.

Jim rules. He's like the only modern author that I can totally relate to. I'm sure we'd get along pretty good. Maybe. I dont know. I hate people that write crap like that: We'd get along or something. I dont know him. Just read him. But if I'm ever in Brooklyn or he's in San Francisco, a beer or two would be cool. Thanks man!

hmm, this fuckin book ripped my learning pans apart! *g* well.... i buyed slackjaw īcos i`m going to write my final english exam on wednesday and i simply wanted to have something more or less interesting with an nice style on it, to keep me in the language. And then I buyed this book, for I thought it looked like something i would enjoy reading, started doing so in the train and didn`t stop reading except for sleeping and now I haven`t learned anything for my history test jet and i have nothing more to read `till wednesday.... but its sure a fantastic thing to read... *lol*

HI! I FINISHED READING "SLACKJAW" LAST NIGHT...I COULDN'T PUT IT DOWN WHEN I INNOCENTLY PICKED IT UP TO LOOK AT IT YESTERDAY. THE BOOK SUCKED ME IN. WHEN I REACHED THE LAST PAGE I WANTED MORE. NOW, I'M GONNA RUN BACK TO THE BOOKSTORE AND GRAB ANOTHER OF JIM'S BOOKS. I'M HOOKED. I'M SO GLAD THAT HE DECIDED TO PUBLISH HIS STORY. IT IS MORBIDLY FACSINATING AND HILARIOUS. HE WRITES IN A WAY THAT PEOPLE CAN EASILY RELATE. JIM, THANKS FOR YOUR BOOK. I LOVED IT. -NICOLE

Jim Knipfel rules. And you know whats cool? Technicly, i know him. I say technicly, because i know people who know him. People who were pretty good friends of my family. Mike McHugh and Pete Tupitza, and their butt-ugly dog, as she's described so affectionately in once of the stories on this site. Dont remember which. But, its there. so HA! i know Jim Knipfel and you dont!

I was at the local bookstore a month ago in the bio section, looking for yet another celbrity bio to read, when I picked up SLACKJAW, and read the cover. I bought it, read it, and was so delighted by it. I am cured of the desire to read about celbrities now, whose lives I can never fully relate to, anyway. I found myself laughing out loud at passages. I just bought the second book, and cannot wait to delve into it. I thought I was the only person who enjoyed the "easy listening" music (such as Steve Lawrence and Sinatra) alongside my "alternative" and rock. I love the writing because he makes no apologies for baring the ugliness and lonliness of life as well as the joy of little things so many take for granted. I will recommend Knipfel to all my friends. This is my new literary hero--a sort of William Burroughs for the new century.

Mr. Knipfel, I saw you on 60 Minutes. You left a lasting impression. In fact, I wrote the up-to-this-poiunt-point best piece of writting I've done, on you. I wanted you to know that you have the power to move people, and that, even if it is bad and smelly and nasty, you've made a difference, and that's what counts. One person, one thought, one inspiration- what more can you ask? Rock on, sir, rock on...

Yo Yo YO----i just wanted to let Jim know that as much as he complains about Phila., if it wasn't for the City of Brotherly Love he wouldn't be doing what he's doing----David Lynch has that same hatred and look how far it got him. Also, tell Jim to keep those books coming. I might be from Phila. but I can still enjoy a good book. Give me a shout next time you're coming and I'll buy you an early morning bloody mary at the Khyber.

I thoroughly enjoy your stories, and I want to share a couple of Raymond Carver quotes that your writing brings to mind: "It's strange. You never start out life with the intention of becoming a bankrupt or an alcoholic or a cheat and a thief. Or a liar." ... "If this sounds like the story of a life, okay." Keep it coming and keep it hardcore. And hey Marlene , you sound oh so dear and a little disturbed too. You and Jim are both OK in my book.

Jim Knipfel sees something most people don't want to -- suffering. His own, others, in the streets or with a pencil, Slackjaw understands what's going on around him. He's done hiding from the "bad" stuff that scares so many people. In so doing, he found some amazing stories. Thank you.

Dear Jim, After just completing "Nairobi Trio" I feel I have embarked on a career of reading nothing but non-fiction. While at times, the truth may be "scary", knowing it's real can be oh-so rewarding. In the case of your recent work....I felt it extremely rewarding, and hope there's more to come! You shouldn't have to relive anything so severe (I don't believe you liked it after the honeymoon of the naivety wore off) But I think a memior of some travels throughout the world could be just the perspective that's needed. I just got back from Europe, an 8 week trip. My journals are yours for the asking! (I'd love them to serve as somesort of motivation for your future masterpiece) Thanks for the break in my monotonoud life, Eric-NY; 6/2000

Oh, little Knipfel, you are so dear! Aside from that you're a very, very disturbed man. But wait, there's more! You're smart _and_ funny, but then that may very well be part and parcel of being disturbed. Ah, well, it's your world and Frank Sinatra was living in it until he wasn't. Did they bury him in his toupee? Will Chuck Heston be buried in his after they remove his 9mm Glock from his cold, dead fingers? Anyway, I must be going. Please write -- not to me, but in general. I like what you have to say.

Having just completed SLACKJAW, if find myself ready to wield sword or fall on same, should Knipfel give the order. Mayakovsky said "In the church of my heart, the choir is on fire." Thanks for the indendiary songs, Jim.

-loved SlackJaw from when i first moved to Hate City USA (that's Philadelphia folks) in 1988, or so. -comfort in Jim's writing to the eyes of a lost in the city 18 year old drunk -couldn't believe that was Knipful actually on 60 minutes! -could not also believe that he was also a sweet and feeble guy when he did the reading at Borders or wherever for the book. ALSO... if anyone here from Philly is reading Liz Spikol's "the Trouble with Spikol" i'm sure you agree that it is heartbreaking to read another's pain and trouble within your own goddamned mind. Is it more comforting to know that there are others in pain too? or more depressing? oh well, pass the bottle.....

After a short run in SF, I came back to NY in '95 and found SLACKJAW. Stunned by the honesty, touched by the humanity. Now I am in Denver (although it seems more and more like Los Angeles every day) and I found the site surfing while at work (the ONLY way to surf)....just great to read that stuff again....like a breath of fresh air....Keep Writing Jim, You've Got A Lot of Fans. Good Luck! Dave in Denver

As another journalist with Retinitis Pigmentosa, I was fascinated to see the recent "60 Minutes" piece. I have just ordered "Slackjaw" (although with my vision it may be the year 3000 before I finish. ;) ) I would love to get Jim's e-mail address. Have had his book on sale for months on my site. Would like to do an interview with him for the "E-ye Matters" section of my E-Zine. Best regards all!

In regard to "Ed Gein, Werner Herzog, and me," I remember reading about Ed Gein in the newspapers when I was a kid. The movie "Psyco" was chilling for its time. "Silence of the Lambs" needed the decline of American morals and our hunger for the bazaar to overcome human decency. I believe the constant news reports that went on for years from Vietnam played a large part in deadening our senses. After the daily body counts, actual footage and violence in our own streets the American appetite for the Macabre was wetted. Now murder, destruction, pain, sorrow and inhuman behavior are all on the T.V. screen at the touch of a remote. I realize the world would do its dirty deeds regardless, with or without an audience. The question is do we really need to produce extra ones in Hollywood?

Hey, Jim - Just read "Slackjaw" - called in sick to devote my day to it! Brought back memories of the old neighborhood... I was friends with Mary in grade school, and was at your house a lot - we lived on Libal St., just a half block from you. You were just a baby then...
Your book gave me an insight as to what my mom, my sister, and my niece are and have been going through - they all have RP. I was the lucky one in the family - my failing eyesight was caused by deteriorating lenses, which were surgically removed and replaced with synthetic ones. I can see, but they cannot. And while Mom and Kathy keep "dealing with it", they have never been able to put the frustration into focus like your words. Maybe I can understand a little better now.... Thanks....

"Alaska Land of Unspeakable Evil" brings to mind conversations I have had with a friend who wants to take an Alaskan cruise. I find it hard to believe that people actually take cruises to Alaska. Why would anyone pay to take a vacation in a place where you need a jacket. Personally I like to take my vacations in places where I am more apt to get skin cancer. A place where BARE means something completely different than BEAR. I realize Alaska is a beautiful place but living in Wiscanada {Wisconsin} tends to put my priorities into the catagories of feeling the sun warm my bones instead of watching it melt icebergs.
You mentioned Roswell. I saw an unidentified flying object once. It was in a strip club just after midnight, an hour or two into the New Year, 1975. The place was packed, the crowd was drunk, the music was loud and the dancers were dancing. Crack, came a sound from the viewing gallery across from the stage. A UFO had splattered the wall barely missing a patron. Upon further investigatuion the crashed UFO was identified as a twelve-ounce Pabst.

As you know in "Excuse Me as I Talk Myself Out of Something Nice," you bring up cats. We had a cat once. After having it as a guest in our house for a relatively short period of time my wife and I realized we don't like cats. Our children loved it and had no objection when I cleaned the litter box on those rare occassions when the cat didn't use a potted plant to relieve itself in. In my opinion cats are like snakes with legs and although they don't shed their skin they shed hair in a trail that can only be properly picked up by clothing. Being blind you probably don't notice it much until you cough up a hairball. Kinda makes me wonder if your Fedora might look like a blocked and brimmed lint brush?

My last entry was cut short. The last sentence should have been edited anyway. "Give a man a Little Time,and Trouble Will Find Him" brought back memories of my drinking days that pretty much ended recently due to my inability to withstand the pain of the hangovers any longer, not to mention the fool I made of myself. Foolishness is an art form I can practice without being drunk. Imagine how I felt when I began to spend long periods of time sober, and realized I was a natural fool and it had nothing to do with alcohol. I must admit there was a time when I was a professional inebriant. A friend once told me that as a young man he had gotten drunk each night for a week. He asked what was the longest period I maintained this circumstance and I said "Four years." So you see I have credentials.

At lunch today I read "A Life-and-Death Game of Chicken." Abortions have come a long way from coat hangers and back alleys, although I have to wonder if they were ever performed in an alley when daddy was paying for his drunken daughter after she pulled a train of fraternity members. I can't say I approve of abortion as casual birth control. As a veteran of the Vietnam War {Do wars really merit capitol letters?} I was in a situation involving what could be called full term abortions, grown men not so grown men, children, infants and old people put in positions of aborter or abortee. {If a pregnant women is killed what catagory of abortion does that jackpot fall into?} Looking at it soldier to soldier the potential aborter or abortee, depending where the bullet went had the option of defending themselves due to the fact that all military participants were issued weapons and in most cases plenty of ammunition. Now we're talking fair play. A full term abortion that gave the

Just read one of your articles titled, "But What About the Lesbian Song, Mr. Humperdink?" I have no idea when it was written but thats not my fault. I live in Wisconsin and don't have access to the New York Press, not yet anyway. I downloaded all the available articles from your website. I'll print and read them and keep them in a folder for others to read. I stole the folder from work. It was only fitting considering you were a thief in the past. I know this message is all very mundane but by the time you figure that out you'll have read it and that's the point.

Slackjaw, I so enjoyed your Boxcar Willie story. I had the opportunity to interview and write several stories about Box back in the days just before and just after he became an international super star.
I was in the audience and took pictures in Nashville when Box was awarded Most Promising Newcomer from Music City News. Box was in his early 50s at the time. Success was a long time coming for Box, perhaps that is why he appreciated it so much. I never met anyone who appreciated it more.
