It will take a while to get the hundreds of notices documented, so I will post this page as “in progress.” At least initially (almost) all articles will be available in PDF format only. If you found something not listed here, please email me the details. Thanks!

Rolling Stone 14 September 2009.
This account, written by a Trinity schoolmate and lifelong friend of Jim Carroll’s, was posted in the Comments section of Carroll’s obituary by Daniel Kreps in Rolling Stone. I felt it deserved to be an article in its own right. Dr. Catenaccio has since shared a lot more via email and I hope to eventually share some of his memories on this site. Amazing stuff!

I am continuing to collect more notices. I would really like to see more global/international (outside USA) notices, but it’s almost impossible for me to find them because of language barriers. If you have found non-English-language notices — or any other notices I don’t have here, please send them to me as PDFs along with the original URL and the author (last name, first name), article title, publication name, and date of publication. Thanks!
Special thanks to Sarah Siladi for helping round up these articles.
A note about copyrights: CatholicBoy.com is a library and archive of information about Jim Carroll. Because online information tends to “vaporize” and disappear from its original location, I preserve it in PDFs and web pages.
