In this, his first novel, Peter Kalafatis tells the gut
wrenching story of his younger
brother's death from a drug overdose. Growing up in Brooklyn in a working class environment from Greek immigrant parents, this book explores
the socioeconomic and urban conflict in the home, family, and community, while
combining the readability of a novel with the educational content of a
political tract.
"An excellently crafted novel that tells a compelling
story, but more importantly throws a spotlight on the disgusting and
inherent inequalities of the capitalist system"- Free Society (Canada)
"The passion and description that Peter puts into his writing is outstanding." - Razorback (Texas, USA)
"An important contribution to understanding the causes and consequences of youth rebellion and violence."- Book Pleasures (Canada)
