Description:“In 1994 Brooklyn, Jimmy Quinn sat at the top of the street kid food chain. As a promising Golden Gloves boxer and member of The Graveyard Stompers, New York City’s most notorious hardcore punk crew, Quinny forged his own future with determination and shaped it with his fists. Like the streets he came up in, the soundtrack to his life was loud, fast, and brutal, but with his best friend Skinhead Carlos, girlfriend Justine Obscene, and the boys by his side, he was ready to make Fate his bitch.But Fate is nobody’s bitch. One unlucky punch. One Nazi skinhead who never got back up. The life Quinny had built from junkyard scraps disappeared in an instant.After two decades in prison, Quinny returns to a different Brooklyn. The gang is gone, hipsters have replaced street punks, and his dream of becoming a pro fighter is as dead as the bonehead who put him here. Or is it? His fists make collecting money for a local mobster his best option—but only until he can parlay his killer reputation into a six-figure pro boxing debut. Can he crawl his way back up in time or will he be just another victim?”Brooklyn Hardcore is the debut novel from Eddie McNamara, a writer from Brooklyn before it was cool. He has published short stories in ThugLit, Shotgun Honey, J. Journal, and others. Previously, he was a 9/11 responder, a Penthouse columnist, a mental health advocate, chef, and author of Toss Your Own Salad, a vegetarian cookbook.“BROOKLYN HARDCORE viscerally revives a Brooklyn I'd feared was forgotten; one filled with shitkickers and zines and mixtapes. A place where the dirtbags are sometimes your heroes and the degenerates have got your back. When McNamara's characters get dealt shit hands, they make themselves a sandwich.”—Xochitil Gonzalez, author of New York Times bestseller Olga Dies Dreaming“BROOKLYN HARDCORE is a love letter to punk rock, boxing, and New York—McNamara throws those things into a blender and produces the kind of gritty, heartbreaking noir like they don’t make anymore. An excellent, engrossing, and thoughtful read that lands every punch it throws.”—Rob Hart, author of The Paradox Hotel and The Warehouse“BROOKLYN HARDCORE is as real as the scars between your knuckles. If you were there, you know. If you weren’t…you’re gonna learn.”— Todd Robinson, author of The Hard Bounce and Rough TradeWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
