Darkly humorous at time, and other times outright horrifying, but genuinely informative about what life is life being a drug addict on Skid Row. Was reviewed in the Wall Street Journal, and the author has been on a ton of big podcasts. Shane Gillis's show, Adam Carolla, Dr. Drew, Flightless Bird, etc.
Written by Jared Klickstein, who was was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1989 to heroin-addicted parents. He spent his teenage years outside of Oakland, California after being adopted by his aunt and uncle. He attended UC Santa Cruz where he got addicted to heroin himself, dropped out, and spent nearly ten years chronically homeless and addicted around the country. After a notorious run on Skid Row in Los Angeles and a subsequent jail sentence, he sobered up in 2018, wrote this book, and published it in 2024.
