Description

Blueschild Baby A Novel by George Cain is a searing and unvarnished portrayal of life in 1960s Harlem. Set against the backdrop of summer 1967, the novel explores the private hell of a young ex-convict struggling with heroin addiction. The story illuminates the desperation, degradation, rage, and rebellion that accompany dependence on heroin. With its frank and autobiographical style, Blueschild Baby conjures the tyranny of addiction, revealing the fragile shards of hope it permits amidst the chaos. A new preface by acclaimed writer Leslie Jamison adds depth to this powerful and unsettling novel, shedding light on the complex emotions and experiences of those struggling with addiction.
