Street fiction, also known as urban fiction, street lit, or gangsta fiction, is one of the fastest growing genres, these books expose the reader to drugs, violence, sex and and the gritty realities of street life in urban America.
Street Fiction is a blog dedicated to reviewing this genre. Daniel Marcou, creator of this blog, is a corrections librarian, creative writing instructor, and author.
The latest title under review is Naughty Girls byAlisha Yvonne. "Ivy Lee Jones and Candy Cane are a couple of sexy girls gone wild. Just look up the meaning of fierce in the dictionary, and you’ll find a picture of both Ivy Lee Jones and Candy Cane with sinister smiles on their faces."
Another book that caught me eye was Going Broke by Trista Russell,
"Sarai Emery loves her life. Enclosed in the luxurious penthouse-style apartment just minutes from the beach, Sarai drives a tricked-out S.U.V. and sports a Beyonce-worthy hair weave, but what Sarai prizes above all else is Damian Carter, the man who makes this whole overpriced lifestyle possible. Despite all the bling, Sarai is drowning in debt."Don't forget, if you find a book you want, feel free to leave me the details in a meebo message (with your ashfield library card number), or email me alexanderm@ashfield.nsw.gov.au.nospam, when it comes in I will reserve it for you.
