South by South Bronx

Fiction. "A street poet like Bob Dylan, Abraham Rodriguez has woven a lyrically inventive and sophisticated noir, worthy of the people he champions...One fearless hell of a literary mystery novel" Ernesto Quinonez. "In prose entirely his own...Rodriguez gives us a crime story, a love story, and one of the best portraits of the creative process I've ever seen. Every page is a joy and every character-including the South Bronx itself-is alive and surprising. This book is something special"-S.J. Rozan. Abraham Rodriguez was born and raised in the South Bronx. His first book, The Boy Without a Flag, was a 1993 New York Times Notable Book of the Year, and his novel Spidertown won a 1995 American Book Award. He lives in Berlin, Germany.
