The Corner
- A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood
- Narrated by: Dion Graham, David Simon
The crime-infested intersection of West Fayette and Monroe Streets is well-known – and cautiously avoided – by most of Baltimore. But this notorious corner’s 24-hour open-air drug market provides the economic fuel for a dying neighborhood. David Simon, an award-winning author and crime reporter, and Edward Burns, a 20-year veteran of the urban drug war, tell the chilling story of this desolate crossroad.
Through the eyes of one broken family – two drug-addicted adults and their smart, vulnerable 15-year-old son, DeAndre McCollough, Simon and Burns examine the sinister realities of inner cities across the country and unflinchingly assess why law-enforcement policies, moral crusades, and the welfare system have accomplished so little. This extraordinary book is a crucial look at the price of the drug culture and the poignant scenes of hope, caring, and love that astonishingly rise in the midst of a place America has abandoned.
Great read! Weaving the the characters into the story was masterfully done. Thoroughly enjoyed this book and have recommended it to others.
