Spidertown

Meer over het boek

Miguel is riding high on the streets of the Bronx, satisfied with his job as a drug runner for Spider—mentor, friend, and small-time crack kingpin. Along with his roommate, an arsonist named Firebug, Miguel tries to fit a lifetime of partying, casual sex, and high times into a few short years. But when he meets the beautiful and practical-minded Cristalena, the shallowness and imminent danger of his world come crashing home. Tense, gritty, and moving, "Spidertown" captures a world where children own guns, where death is a part of everyday life, and where, miraculously, hope manages to survive.
