In a city known for its fraught racial divide, Wershe had somehow joined the ranks of the drug kingpins on the predominantly Black East Side before he was old enough to shave.

Over the past few years, there's been an explosion of interest in good beer. As hundreds of great new breweries have opened across the country and around the world, quality ales and lagers have been given an importance never before imagined.

Everyone hates them...and yet just about everyone has them, at least sometimes. In the United States, 11.6 million employees have reported going to work with a hangover within the previous 12 months.

A te che questo tempo ha appena portato ad ascoltare questo audiolibro. Devo dirti una cosa importante: ti prego, fa' attenzione. In questo audiolibro, non troverai nessun supereroe e nemmeno parole come "mantello" o "e dalla lampada uscì", no, niente di tutto questo. Qui troverai una vita vera, una vita che esiste, e le vite vere che esistono sono fragili, delicate, forti ma piene di cuore e di spaventi che ci portiamo dentro da anni e anni o, forse, da tantissime vite. Ci sono dentro coraggio e amore e amici, e c'è il mare, e un parco giochi incastrato nel centro della città.
