About this Book:
|
|
In South Memphis, you won’t find fancy houses, pizza delivery boys, or white folk. This side of town oozes of addicts, prostitutes in love, the old dying slowly, and the young living much too fast.
Funky is the raw tale of the people who live on “Funky” Avenue, a street in South Memphis, which is lovingly known as Funky Town.
Over the course of a turbulent weekend—beginning with a missing teen—you’ll meet each resident. You’ll hear their regrets, their declarations, their joys and their miseries, spoken to you in free-flowing poetic form.
Knock on their doors gently.
Enter their homes with caution.
Listen.
