A man living in a flophouse tries to impress his long-estranged blind father by embellishing on what the old man can’t see. Two employees of a porn theater pick the wrong day to get stoned. A fragile young woman and follower of a street preacher witnesses a tragedy, setting her on a mission that may be beyond her abilities.
It’s 1979 on Block E, a woebegone Times Square-type district filled with characters of all stripes—hookers and the homeless, addicts and drug dealers. But the streets also belong to the hopeful—the many people wanting so much more. These are the Tales of Block E, three intersecting stories of people in a place and a time long gone but not forgotten.
The Tales of Block E is the collected stories of The Rand Hotel, American Adonis, and Jean Skirt, plus a short bonus story, China White. The Rand Hotel, American Adonis, and Jean Skirt are also available separately in e-book.
