by J. E. Muzaurieta (Author)
UNDER THE OVERPASS is a tale of collective madness. A fast-paced narrative set in a dismal and stark environment where a group of hard core drug addicts, chronic alcoholics, and worn-out prostitutes survive each day by panhandling and sly manipulation. Many of the homeless characters suffer from mental disorders that range from crippling depression to schizophrenia. Incest, revenge, and murder add a sordid dimension to the story which will shock the reader.This disturbing tale is suffused with vulgar street language, contrasted against religion and dishonest hope for the few homeless camp members who believe their twisted lies of redemption. It is a journey towards an unforgettable ending of a group of strangers, brought together in a cruel and inescapable fate.UNDER THE OVERPASS is a work of fiction, based on fact, as witnessed by this author. The names of the cast have been changed, but the people were real. I lived among them and I am lucky to have escaped with my life.J. E. Muzaurieta
