Streetlife is a collection of stories that focuses on, and vividly reveals the harsh realities of life on the streets in America. It shows the edges of those streets and how we can easily fall through the cracks in the Capitalist system to end up there with little more than one unfortunate circumstance. In “Liberty City,” the longest of these stories, we see that there is much more poverty and hopelessness than liberty in Liberty City, a Miami ghetto, as we are taken inside the lives of many of the residents, the majority of whom live hand-to-mouth daily existences to move further up the ladder and out of the neighborhood. In “Mr. Payback” we see an aspiring comedian attack the wrong audience members, and the horrific conclusion to that unforeseen casual confrontation. These offerings, as well as the rest will keep the reader on edge until the story, and book, are finished.
