AND IT GOES LIKE THIS...
"The most important Urban novel of our generation." FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NEW YORK--Brooklyn-born author G. Andi Rhos's debut Street Lit novel, And It Goes Like This..., is receiving thunderous advance critical acclaim. Rhos's unabashed storytelling and dexterous writing are stunning and delighting critics across the nation. Set in 1980s Brooklyn, And It Goes Like This... depicts the coming of age of fifteen-year-old Charlotte-Louise Andrews in the midst of a turbulent Blatino family saga. The novel takes readers on a hypnotic three-year journey of the socially awkward teen's life. Through gripping prose, astute dialog and unforgettable characters, Rhos paints indelible pictures of longing, deception, betrayal, and Blatino culture. Jeff Rivera, author of Forever My Lady, calls And It Goes Like This... "unapologetically truthful." While maintaining the harsh realities of the inner city, a keynote in Urban Fiction, And It Goes Like This... elevates literary merit to heights previously unseen in this hot street genre, and challenges readers to examine their own sensibilities. The book world is taking note of this mesmerizing novel that's breathing new life into the Hip Hop Fiction/Street Lit market, and is changing perception of this often disregarded genre.
