	Nik Cohn - Music Books at Randy's Rodeo
		Nik Cohn was one of the finest music writers ever, but his reputation as an author now extends far beyond the world of rock.
		Nik Cohn was barely a teenager in 1957 when he discovered rock and roll, and he was still a teenager when he published his first novel.
		Cohn was, in fact, a precocious and productive writer (Market, his first novel, was released when he was 16), and he produced a host of major works before his 30th birthday.

	Review: Triksta by Nik Cohn \| Review \| The Observer
		Instead, Cohn wrote an unsentimental love-hate letter to a jazzless New Orleans and the lives of murderous despair he met there over three years.
		Cohn cannot help but be intoxicated by its preternatural cry, its 'rough magic' - until it is hijacked by the white middle class.
		And so, spurred to seize the day after being diagnosed with hepatitis C, he pursues his grand folly as 'Triksta', the talent spotter, lyricist, producer; caustic about himself and his instincts on race, compassionate towards the wannabes who are more likely to finish with a bullet through the head than the questionable glory of bling.

	Salon Books \| "20th-Century Dreams" by Nik Cohn and Guy Peellaert (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		collagist Guy Peellaert and writer Nik Cohn, is even more lurid than their 1973 classic, "Rock Dreams" -- an epic of decadence and erotic rot that merges those two great beckoning, shadowy archetypes, the pornographer and the undertaker.
		Cohn has composed fragments of Vail's memoirs to accompany Peellaert's images; as the writer explains in his introduction, Vail is a conceit who represents the century's extremes (and conjunction) of tragedy and triviality.
		Befriended at 14 by Rasputin, then escaping Russia during the revolution, Vail journeys to the Zurich of the Dadaists, the Paris of Proust, the Venice of Diaghilev and the New York of John Barrymore and, later, of Warhol, Lennon and Madonna.

	The Richmond Review, Book Review, Yes We Have No by Nik Cohn
		Nik Cohn and his friend Mary got in their car and went to the 'Republic'.
		Cohn is brilliant at telling us what these people are like but we are left to wonder why they are as they are.
		The many groups that make up what Cohn calls the 'Republic' would loathe each other on sight yet they are united by what they are not and this is as much a book about what they have rejected.

	Borzoi Reader \| Catalog \| Triksta by Nik Cohn
		Nik Cohn’s love of hip-hop goes back to its beginnings, and his love of New Orleans even further, to when he passed through on tour with The Who and discovered a place whose magic has never failed to seize him.
		Cohn captures a music that’s hugely popular but rarely understood, and with transcendent humanity he reveals this beloved city in all its tragic beauty.
		“Cohn's journey through the world of teenage rappers, rickety studios, and crumbling housing projects is a human and fascinating view of a culture that isn't widely known.

	The Richmond Review, Book Review, Yes We Have No by Nik Cohn
		Cohn's subject matter is encapsulated by Laurence, the West Indian street philosopher of King's Cross, as "the republic", defined as "Anyone who is not in the Anglo Club".
		Cohn's travels consist of visits to the major conurbations and digressions to sea-side towns, but both reflecting the same urban values.
		On occasion, Cohn does allow his personality to intrude and the results are less than satisfying.

		Today, Nik Cohn is a well-regarded novelist and scribe of contemporary culture.

		As a native Brit, Cohn also discusses acts little known on US shores (Tommy Steele, Sandie Shaw, Screaming Lord Sutch) and, in an attempt to be as complete as possible, sums up entire performers and their music in a couple of paragraphs, sometimes managing to cover three to a single page!

	Nik Books - Signed, used, new, out-of-print
		Strippers and stockbrokers, pickpockets and bureaucrats, transvestites and pseudo-prophets--these are just a few of the real people readers will encounter in Cohn's lyrical and sinister journey that reaches beyond the streets of New York to document the ever-evolving cross-section that makes up America.
		In Triksta, a masterful observer of movements that emerge from dark corners to become worldwide phenomena early rock n roll and Saturday Night Fever, to name but two, gives us a mesmerizing account of a city, its music, and a way of life that often embraces death.

		Nik Cohn has loved (and hated) hip-hop since its birth and loved (and hated) New Orleans for even longer - an addiction he's never wanted to kick.
		But nothing prepared him for the experience of being pitched, more or less by accident, into the role of Triksta, rap impressario.
