Evicted from their trailer on New Year's Eve, Henry and his son, Junior, have been reduced to living out of a pickup truck. Six months later, things are even more desperate. Henry, barely a year out of prison for pushing opioids, is down to his last pocketful of dollars, and little remains between him and the street. But hope is on the horizon: Today is Junior's birthday, and Henry has a job interview tomorrow.

Crushing, subtly elegant, excellent narrative structuring
Revisado: 02-28-23
This book creates a beautiful, and agonizing portrayal of poverty in America as a father struggles to fight for the wellbeing of his child while ruminating on the events and figures in his life that have brought them to the narrative’s present; a point closer to the brink of total collapse.
Brilliantly structured, tormentingly suspenseful for the genre, gently descriptive and harrowingly human, this book is a sleeper that is fully deserving of any acclaim it receives.
Hats off to the reader as well - I feel that the spirit of the author’s intent was well captured in their timbre and cadence.
