Concrete Candy: Stories Paperback - 1996
by Apollo
These six incendiary stories mark the debut of an astonishing new writer--remarkable both for the authenticity and immediacy of his voice, and for his age: sixteen. Ranging from raw and violent to warmly compassionate, these stories document both the brutality of ghetto life and the humanity of characters bound by fierce ties of friendship, loyalty, and blood.
From the rear cover
Concrete Candy marks the debut of an astonishing new writer - notable both for the authenticity and immediacy of his voice and for his age: fifteen. Three years ago, Apollo, a child of the inner city and a protege of the acclaimed novelist Jess Mowry, began writing stories that reflect the tension, drama, and pathos of the urban reality he has lived and witnessed. The result is this collection of six powerful, haunting tales of boys dangerously adrift in the 'hood.
