5.0

Standing as the only testament to the life of a brilliant man, Blueschild Baby is George Cain’s only novel. Set in Harlem in the 70’s , Cain takes you through the underground world of addicts and hustlers, be prepared for what you read the time and era is vivid in the language. Cain’s heron addiction both fueled and impede his creative life. ⁣

If you look at the story overall, it’s like a modern salve narrative. ⁣

I know some tend to skip the introduction,but in this book I recommend you don’t, there is so much to know and understand before you start reading. ⁣

This is one I highly, highly recommend.
