Description
A gritty coming-of-age story set against the vibrant backdrop of 1980s and '90s New York City, "The Future Won't Be Long" is a tale of friendship, sex, art, clubbing, and ambition. When Adeline, a wealthy art student, meets Baby in a shady East Village squat, their bond propels them through a decade of city life. In the apartments and bars of downtown Manhattan, Adeline introduces Baby to a world not yet overrun by gentrification. As they navigate the city's wilds, from infamous nightclubs like The Limelight to the city's underground art scene, their friendship becomes a fiery catalyst for growth and self-discovery. With its unflinching portrayal of life in 1980s and '90s New York City, "The Future Won't Be Long" is an electric and provocative novel that explores the highs and lows of ambition, identity, and the power of human connection.
