Résumé du livre
It's the mid-1970s in a seedy and bankrupt New York. Determined to change his life, Roy loses control of it instead. Abandoning everything, he roams Manhattan searching for the person he believes has stolen his soul - only to encounter a galaxy of characters desperate to make money, find love, and outsmart death. Violent, funny, visionary, possessed of an insider's knowledge of New York's art and rock & roll scenes, Self-Reliance takes place in the era of the happy face button and Son of Sam. It portrays a city and a man on the edge . . .
