Pressestimmen
"If you have any interest in the wild array of people who defined the West Coast beat/bohemian world, and the various ways it overlapped other worlds, including Hollywood and rock 'n' roll, then you must read TOSH: Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World by Tosh Berman--John Yau, Hyperallergic"It's about what it's like to grow up in the L.A. art community between the Beat years and the Counterculture years. Of all the books I've read about L.A. since I've gotten here, this was the most informative about the L.A. I would have wanted to know."--Michael Silverblatt, Host of KCRW's "Bookworm""Tosh's book is fascinating, fleshing out details on how Wallace morphed from West Coast Beat generation raja into hippie headmaster of LA, centered in the Beverly Glen and Topanga Canyon areas, and, for a time, of San Francisco. . . . His book is filled with wild, with-it insights, buttressed by bounteous black and white photos, yet it is based in a rather ordinary, mid-20th century American upbringing, with extraordinary moments."--Joseph Nechvatal, Hyperallergic"This book is perfection. I wish it went on forever. Maybe, somehow, it does.TOSH is almost like a giant map of small city . . . Each sentence is a street. Each chapter is an era. Each memory revealing a secret passage from one place to the next . . . TO READ IT is to WALK IT with Tosh Berman." --Jason Schwartzman, actor"This double narrative of Tosh Berman and his father, Wallace, will tell you more about the creative process than a hundred how-to books purporting to do the same."--Jim Krusoe, author of The Sleep Garden"Reading TOSH is like meeting your idols, one at a time, for a quiet chat. Everyone is disarmed, and it feels like you've been in the same room with them for about ten hours, or so. Dennis Hopper is unconstrained and friendly, Toni Basil is bubbly, and Brian Jones has just stopped by to say hello. Topanga, as a place is remote--filled with pockets of escapism, winding landscapes of tumult and ennui. Tosh's world is both expansive and crystalline, he traces the edges of his world, and Wallace's world. We get to come and go with Tosh as he navigates his place in and around the tangle of the time."--Soo Kim, artist, Professor at Otis College of Art and Design"This book is sublime: vertiginous, melancholy, highly amusing!"--Johan Kugelberg, Boo-Hooray"Through the prism of Tosh Berman, only child, born 1954 to Wallace and Shirley, who personified the wild heart of 20th century West Coast art, we are offered a truly intimate invitation into a magic world of outliers, visionaries and shooting stars. TOSH recounts a life 'lived like a good book on a bookshelf, ' a memoir resonant with discovery, passion, music, art, sex, celebrity, ego, desire, and dignity. All told with a son's love for his father, a continuing light into the creative life."--Thurston Moore, musician & writer"Tosh Berman is one of the most valuable writers, much less people, the earth has upon it. This book is exquisite. I can't think of another word. What it says, how it says it, what it is."--Dennis Cooper, author of The Marbled Swarm"Reading TOSH, I felt like I was lying on a couch, completely relaxed and engrossed, while Tosh Berman sat in a chair beside me and told me his amazing life story. And at the end, I was very moved and wanted to cry. The affect that TOSH--the book and the man--had on me was that feeling I get when exposed to great art: a mix of sadness and wonder, which seem to be the two faces of the human heart. Wonderment at the beauty around us--the world, its people--and the sadness that nothing lasts, that all must perish. But this is our journey on planet earth: to be brave and feel both things at once, and it's great art, like this book, that reminds us to do so."--Jonathan Ames, author of You Were Never Really Here"It's about what it's like to grow up in the L.A. art community between the Beat years and the Counterculture years. Of all the books I've read about L.A. since I've gotten here, this was the most informative about the L.A. I would have wanted to know."--Michael Silverblatt, Host of KCRW's "Bookworm""If you are interested in California bohemian art-scene culture, eccentric and fascinating family and friend dynamics between unique individuals, and celebrated yet oddly little-known artists with uncompromising personalities, then read this book!"--Roman Coppola, filmmaker, screenwriter"If the first movie your father takes you to as a child is . . . And God Created Woman, you can be sure of two things. First, that your father is an extraordinary person. Second, that you are destined to lead an extraordinarily interesting life. Both of these suppositions are made evident in Tosh Berman's vivid and loving memoir, TOSH: Growing Up in Wallace Berman's World. What a world!"--Ron Mael, Sparks "What compels about Tosh Berman's gorgeously written memoir is the proximity of the quotidian and the familiar to the extraordinary, the shocking even, and the enviably glamorous. He recounts a coming of age in which the unexpected laces the ordinary as surely at it does in Alice In Wonderland--only for Tosh, growing up, a cast of artists, nutcases, iconoclasts, stars, and extremists of all kinds provide the distraction and disruption once supplied by the White Rabbit or Cheshire Cat. Add to this his exemplary taste in, and understanding of, a particular pop sensibility--TV, music, Warhol, and comic books. That then heady and head-spinning world, soundtrack to a sentimental education, that was for the young romantics of the mid-twentieth century what clouds and peaks were to those of mid-nineteenth. Brava, Tosh Berman!"--Michael Bracewell, writer"Sexually giddy, clairvoyant, messianic--Wallace Berman's socially astute photo-collages were vital bread and butter for several generations of artists. The Wallace B bloodline, from which Tosh sprouted, is a verdant gene pool. For artists-readers, TOSH, the memoir, is a luscious document of Los Angeles in the last four decades of the 20th century. Every page is filled with juicy history. Such surprises include a teenaged Sammy Davis Jr. sleepover, a pet alligator, Mae West, Allen Ginsberg, and dozens of remarkable side characters. Bask in Tosh Berman's honesty and gentle style. He is a one-of-a-kind gem."--Benjamin Weissman, artist & writer"Tosh Berman's memoir is the remarkable story of a child being raised in an environment in which his father's artmaking was paramount."-Chris Luna, Rain Taxi

This is an up-close and personal look at an "All-In" committed artist and his Milieu. I had never heard of Wallace Berman until reading Tosh's superb Facebook posts around this book's publication. Tosh has a marvelous behind-the beat writing style that is easy on the brain. Text is filled with fascinating anecdotes around the artists, musicians, actors, dancers who inhabited Wallace's and young Tosh's world. Always great to discover new artists who did not seek publicity thus gained little publicity but worked and worked and worked at their art. L.A. art world heavy hitters knew of Wallace Berman and respected him and his work. A superb book for any art-lover. Wallace was a key figure in the USA "Beat" scene. Looking forward to Tosh Berman writing on ANYTHING ! The locomotive is a photograph by the also under-appreciated great Darius Mckinsey.
This book may be considered a memoir, but it is much more than most of that genre. It is a portrait of the Beat culture of the 50's and 60's when art was redefined and reinvented. Tosh, the son of Wallace Berman, has expressed his love and devotion for his father and reveals himself as well with humor and sensitivity. He grew up immersed in a world of art, music, and literature including frequent contacts with celebrities of the time passing through the studio. The young man's passion was music and girls--not following in his father's creative passions. Along the way he experienced all the usual teenage angst of sadness and failures, but he never gave in to using his father's success and went his own way after Wallace's tragic death. This book is evidence that Tosh has achieved success as a writer--not a small achievement. All creative readers will benefit by enjoying such a great read.
tosh is a self centered narrative of a life made interesting by artist father. Although the reader learns very little about the artist or his art, the affeCts of an artist parent are deeply felt by the writer so the interest remains pathology.
Many contemporary books that reflect on the California art and literature scene (postwar to 1975) come from an academic standpoint, historical documents (such as letters, dated articles, etc) and memoirs by the artists themselves -- with the occasional fuzzy detail. What makes this book different from the rest are Tosh Berman's vivid memories growing up as a child, primarily in Topanga Canyon and San Francisco with Wallace Berman as a father. Wallace Berman is considered a crucial figure in post-war California art, primarily for Semina (considered the first zine), his assemblage art and film making. His exhibition at Ferus Gallery (1957) is an ever-continuing discussion regarding censorship in art.Tosh was given the unique opportunity to grow up surrounded by crucial figures of postwar California art and literature: Duncan & Jess, (Marjorie) Cameron, Allen Ginsberg, George Herms, Toni Basil, etc. and he recollects just some of these memories in this book. He goes into detail about being raised by an artist that is insular in nature, but vocal with his artistic output. Even though Wallace is on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's and has an appearance in Easy Rider, he was extremely private about his work -- this book is one of the few places to see a more intimate perspective. It's very personal and touching, yet without the sentiment most memoirs offer; written in an observational "matter of fact" manner that children have to accept. Growing up in primarily Topanga Canyon and San Francisco during this period is fascinating and enviable, but an unusual cultural bubble far different than the outside world which Tosh has to figure out on his own. For those that are fond of the Beat Generation and the arts that corresponded with it, this book is a must -- but more importantly, this book is perfect for those that believe in creating art for art's sake.
