Description

A salty, wrenchingly honest assortment of stories set on a single block of 145th Street. We become familiar with the oldest resident; the policeman on the beat; fine Peaches and her girl, Squeezie; Monkeyman; and Benny, a fighter on the best way to a knockout. We meet Angela, who begins getting prophetic dreams after her father is murdered; Kitty, whose love for Mack brings him back from the edge; and Big Joe, who desires a bang up funeral while he is still around to savor it. Some of those tales are personal, and some are those behind the news.
