Eric Reese

"Lil E narrates a riveting tale of struggles, hopes and urban fantasies of the youth of his time" Starting from his first memories as a toddler, the novel keeps on exploring every restless turn in his life. From fatherhood, school disasters, Philly's desegregation program, hip hop, early signs of the school to prison pipeline and discovering real friends, Lil E keeps on describing it all, which is undoubtedly a scathing criticism of the then socio-political and economic panorama of the 1980s. Explore the childhood adversity, Lil E experienced and how his youth fantasy became a true symbol of what it takes to get out of ghetto.
