Roscoe - Hardcover

by Andrew J. Gregor (Author)

Roscoe takes us through the streets of San Francisco-a man without a home, but with a sharp, unrelenting way of seeing a world that has largely stopped noticing him. Over the course of twelve hours, he takes us through his day: unfiltered, darkly humorous, and disarmingly precise.

What unfolds is not only a life on the margins, but a sustained reckoning with society itself-its indifference, its contradictions, and its fleeting moments of grace. Through Roscoe's voice, we encounter violence and vulnerability, chance meetings and fractured conversations, as well as moments of unexpected kindness-what remains when everything else is stripped away.In a voice that is both irreverent and deeply humane, ROSCOE moves between confession and confrontation. It is at once an intimate, voice-led portrait of one man and a wider exploration of the fractured realities of modern America.Andrew J. Gregor's novel is unsentimental, unsettling, and ultimately compassionate-a reminder that those we overlook are never without thought, dignity, or a story worth hearing.
