The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood by Edward Burns, David Simon

5.0

This is one of my favorite non-fiction books of all time. It presents the integration of essays on the plight of the modern city with a narrative discussing the life of one family living in Baltimore. I read the book shortly after moving out of Baltimore myself, and almost felt as if the curtain was pulled back on many question that I thought had no answers. Please read this book.
