Way Past Cool
ISBN: 9780998076744 / Angielski / Miękka / 2016 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Way Past Cool was the first -- perhaps the only -- novel of urban American black life in the early 1990's: the era of collapsed structures, lost dreams, dashed hopes, agonizing violence, and a level of rage that for white America is simply unfathomable.

This novel stars Gordon, who at the age of 13, leads his gang through the deadly streets...
