The Corner
A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood
David Simon
A dark and eye-opening read, "The Corner" takes readers to the intersection of West Fayette and Monroe Streets - a notorious corner in Baltimore that fuels a 24-hour drug market. Through the lens of a broken family, the authors assess the realities of inner cities across America and why current systems have fallen short. This book offers a crucial look at the price of the drug culture and the slivers of hope that shine through in a forgotten place.
