Chicago's Far North Side, a few decades agoa rough-and-tumble place, awash with racial tensions and petty crime.
Joey, the youngest child in a mixed-race family, is pushing his way up through the cracked pavement of a chaotic life: parish festivals and block parties on long summer nights, fistfights in back alleys on boring empty days, long walks up and down Clark Street pocketing envelopes of collection money for his older brother, Lil' Pat. It's easy enough to pretend it's all normal, until he sees Pat murder a man in a neighborhood drugstore. Now he's haunted by the memory of blood pooling on the green tiles under the flickering fluorescent lights, torn by the conflict between love of family and disgust over what they doand desperate to survive the insanity without being swept up in it.
This revised second edition of Bill Hillmann's modern classic features a new introduction by Trainspotting author Irvine Welsh. It's a perfect primer for a great book that deserves a place alongside the likes of Nelson Algren and James T. Farrell on the top shelf of Chicago literature.
