β¦ Synopsis
A Vintage Shorts "Short Story Month" Selection
Horse and Ahab share the kind of contempt and love for one another that only true friends can. Months after graduating high school, Horse is getting married to his longtime girlfriend Melissa and moving into her apartment in Manhattan, and Ahab has enlisted in the Marines. They've found ways to escape the neighborhood, just not together.
A raw, gritty, and unremittingly truthful look into the lives of two friends who, on the shores of Rockaway Beach go to say goodbye to each other, and their neighborhood. From the extraordinary fiction debut, Slapboxing with Jesus, that launched Victor LaValle to literary stardom.
An ebook short.
