A wild tale of a decade plus living on the streets of nyc as a crack addict. While wordy and non-PC throughout, it’s still a fascinating tale.

This is the most eloquent book about drug addiction and redemption that I've ever read. Truly an insider's look at that world.

This book describes the author's fall to a life of crack addiction and homelessness on the streets of New York City. The language is strong and evocative, ruthless in its clarity. The book gives us a look at who those panhandlers and bums really are - and allows us to feel empathy for people we often just dismiss. I highly recommend this book.
Thank you to Net Galley for providing me with a digital arc in exchange for my honest review.
