Audible Editor Reviews
After spending just a few minutes with narrator John Concado listeners
will see why such great efforts have been made to clean up New York
City. With a smoky swagger, Concado brings listeners back to a time
Square Ensemble follows a loose gang of small-time drug dealers, led
by the cunning Johnny B. Goode, as they navigate a busy weekend of transactions
with students, businessmen, and lowlifes. A strong debut from writer
Madison Smartt Bell, this audiobook takes on an even greater depth as
Concado introduces listeners to each character.
Publisher's Summary
and dealers surviving in the heart of 1980s New York City
Over one busy weekend, small-time heroin dealer Johnny B. Goode and
his alliance of fellow pushers work their trade amidst students, businessmen,
and assorted sewer rats while avoiding the law. Narrated from the separate
perspectives of each member of the gang, The Washington Square Ensemble
follows the twisted paths that have led the seven men through the gritty
New York underworld and toward a fragile alliance at Washington Square.
With humor, compassion, and an uncanny ear for voices of the streets,
Madison Smartt Bell delivers a stunning indictment and occasional celebration
of a blighted New York landscape.
