Description

Ten tales of black science-fiction and dream incorporate a way through the underbelly of Bay Area's most famous area in Flavor of Tenderloin by Gene O'Neill. Most widely known for his powerful sense of location and distinctively vivid figures, O'Neill provides the gritty underside of the town alive with eight intertwined tales of damaged lives, overlooked desires, and all that may fail with both truth and dream one of the down and out. The town itself opens wide to take all-comers with the attraction of its strategies and sins, while O'Neill provides humanity and pride to some group of figures often-overlooked in both misinformation and culture.
