| Publisher Description: This book is a compilation of what I have seen and heard from different men about their journey with addiction. There is a very distinct cycle and chronological events as a precursor. Some remain nameless as we look away when they ask for cash or favors on street corners or in front of bodegas and mini marts. This book takes place in 1980s Detroit, modern day Atlanta and the haze in-between. It is a sobering recollection of a 'Crack Era Archetype' and I gave them a name. In The Pookie Chronicles I focus on one drug addict that was familiar to me. This is the story of Earl. Earl is every drug addict we see in the streets. Via the movie New Jack City, his nickname is Pookie. It is a common joke amongst those not afflicted with the disease of addiction. This is his story. Their story. |
