What are some important locations in Jim Carroll's Forced Entries?

I have a summer reading project called "A Literary Journey". Only the kids in my elite honors program are getting this assignment and we are all trying to chose different books so we can all have different presentations. I am going to do my project on Jim Carroll's Forced Entries. Now the point of this project is learning about the setting and how it affects characters. The first part of the project is due soon. We have to write a brief paragraph on the time and place of the book. But i can't find anything about the book on search engines. They all either talk about The Basketball Diaries or military or adult movies. So i was hoping if someone out there can help me and name some important locations in the book. It would be much appreciated, thank you.
