About This Item
Paperback / softback. New. John Healy, the son of poor Irish immigrants in London, grows up hardened by violence and soon finds himself overwhelmed by alcoholism. He ends up in the grass arena: the parks and streets of the inner city, where beggars, thieves, prostitutes and killers fight for survival and each day brings the question of where to find the next drink.
Synopsis
A unique and compelling picture of structured degradation on city streets, made all the more frighteningly readable by a vivid, though understated style.
