I mentioned previously that I loved the HBO series ‘The Wire’. I found out that the writer of the show, David Simon, had written a couple books based on his experiences in West Baltimore. The books are critically praised non fiction portrayals of drugs and death in the inner city.
I picked up a used copy of one of his books, The Corner, via Amazon. It arrived last week.
Today I’m back to riding BART to work, and so I’ve started the book. 20 pages in, I’m really enjoying it.
