DOWN ALL YOUR STREETS
By Leonard Bishop
"Savage, cruel,
immensely
powerful"
"This is an immensely powerful book," says MAXWELL
GEISMAR.
"It
is cruel and savage. You will go on reading it–
as I did-until the bitter end."
With this one book, the name and talent of Leonard Bishop will burn
their way into American minds.
For
this
is a novel about the lost souls of modern city life. It describes
with compassion, with smouldering anger and with truly terrifying force,
that "other" New York that only natives of the city can ever know, and
that even few who were born on Manhattan Island have ever seen
at first hand.
DOWN ALL YOUR STREETS is an unforgettable novel about the
level of all-too-human life where poverty and depravity meet. Here,
along bitterly poor side streets where relief investigators trade food
tickets for women and where the disappointed trade the hell of failure
for the inferno of narcotics, a highly talented young writer finds the
raw and irrepressible will of the human animal to survive, and
turns
it into an inspired and inspiring work of
art.
"In telling the story of the Lewis family, the author has created
a world. Genuine and honestly written, it is, in my opinion, a
significant novel." -JAMES T. FARRELL
