  • Camden Joy is the pseudonym of American writer and musician Tom Adelman. Joy is the author of six books—including The Last Rock Star Book or Liz Phair: A Rant and Lost Joy, a collection of stories, pamphlets, and posters. In 1991, Adelman accompanied The David Lowery Band as they toured the country, first by Greyhound and later in the van as the band’s roadie. Adelman then spent several years researching David Lowery’s previous band, Camper Van Beethoven, interviewing band members, roadies, fans, producers, managers, videographers. Dissatisfied with the result, he started it over under the name Camden Joy. The result was a novel that included accounts of both The David Lowery Band’s road trip and Camper Van Beethoven’s break-up. Much later, in 2000, Harper Collins published the novel as Boy Island under its Quill imprint. In 1994, Camden Joy wrote two tracts (“Lost Pamphlets”) entitled The Greatest Record Album Ever Told and The Greatest Record Album Singer That Ever Was. Joy moved from Los Angeles to New York in 1995, and attained a brief notoriety for his New York City postering projects and street manifestos. The Lost Manifestoes of Camden Joy were wheat-pasted around Manhattan and Brooklyn throughout the last months of 1995. This Poster Will Not Never Change Your Life { was a multi-poster project in 1996, as was the collaborative Dear CMJ... Joy’s final act of street postering occurred in the summer of 1997 when he unveiled the collaborative Fifty Posters About Souled American. Joy's essays, which were a combination of music criticism, memoir, and fiction, appeared in a number of periodicals, including the Village Voice, the Boston Phoenix, San Francisco Weekly, and McSweeney's and on This American Life. After hearing Liz Phair’s Exile in Guyville in 1993, Joy wrote a novel, The Last Rock Star Book or Liz Phair: A Rant, in response. Verse Chorus Press published the novel in 1998. In 2001, three new novellas by Joy were published by Highwater Books: Palm Tree 13 , Pan, and Hubcap Diamondstar Halo. An excerpt of the latter appeared in “Best American Nonrequired Reading 2002” edited by Dave Eggers. In 2002, Joy’s self-published tracts were collected as Lost Joy, which also contains short stories, record reviews, essays, and all of his NYC street posters. The book was published by Seattle's TNI Books. (en)
