What we make of it is all important, and these interviews will help the lover of letters trace the boundaries of literature nowadays.
Whatever we call our time, this turn of the third millennium, is after all irrelevant. Yet no one says I want to keep out of this, which means that one thing is certain: where Postmodernism falters, Desperado can find a way. Some like the term, some are diffident, some rage against it. In good Desperado tradition, this is an open volume. After several books the interviewer has written on Desperado authors, the time has come for the authors themselves to speak. The authors interviewed agree or disagree, and their positions build a literary atmosphere of the mind. Two thumbs 👍 up to the author and narrator.1 LIDIA VIANU DESPERADO ESSAY-INTERVIEWS 2009Ģ 2 Editor: Cristina Ioana Vianu Proofreader: Georgiana Mîndru, MA student of MTTLC Technical editor: Carmen Dumitru, MA student of MTTLC Covers and illustrations: VIC (CRISTINA IOANA VIANU) This book was published at Bucharest University Press, 2006 Text: Revised LIDIA VIANU, 2009 ISBN:ģ 3 FOREWORD These Desperado interviews are in fact essay-interviews with an agenda of their own: they try to circumscribe the term Desperado, and prove its validity. Today I can honestly say I live with no regrets and I'm still here to tell the story of so many who were lost to the GAME. Just like B-More there was lots of death and destruction in WPB and the surrounding cities. Like these hustlers wives, I loved the jewelry, cars, clothes and purses but rather than falling into the street life, I chose to work hard to get the things I wanted. I made it my business to stay away from men like this as I saw on a daily basis how there actions affected the people around them. A few times while listening I found myself comparing him to a well known, ruthless hustler and murderer and his crew (I won't say any names) who ran the streets of West Palm Beach when I was a teenage girl growing into a young woman. Black was off the chain and out of control.
In the end I'm glad Netta made it out and wish Mimi had also. They were both good girls who made some bad decisions which led to multiple tragedies for both of them. Netta's and Mimi's stories were heartbreaking. I did enjoy listening to this book again but nothing about this story seemed the same.
Although it's been a long time, this just doesn't seem like the story I read. A friend gave it to me to read some 20+ years ago, so when I saw the 20th anniversary edition, I had to listen to it. This was the first hood book I ever read.
