The Story of Junk: A Novel
The early '80s in the lower east side of New York was a thrilling time for the popular music and art culture created at the end of the punk and New Wave eras. It was also a devastating time of drug addiction and the beginning of AIDS awareness. In her stunning first novel, Linda Yablonsky, a survivor of that dangerous time, tells the story of a would-be writer turned heroin junkie who deals to queers, artists, punks, and yuppies. This is an exquisitely written, brutal, caring book.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
