More room in a broken heart
the true adventures of Carly Simon
by Stephen Davis
This is a biography of singer-songwriter Carly Simon written by rock journalist and biographer Stephen Davis. It is not altogether unbiased, nor does it pretend to be. In the preface, the author admits to his being "transfixed" by an early concert appearance by Carly and her sister Lucy (the "Simon Sisters"). He also peppers the book with references to people he knows, and "what Carly thought" but he does not bother with annotation, much less a bibliography. Thus I would describe this book as a fan letter to Carly Simon in the guise of a book, or as a 409 page story of a close friend's life, with plenty of name-dropping, designed to impress the reader with the writer's "connections".
