at Showtime Lounge this Saturday, 03-14-2015: S Street Rising author Ruben Castaneda

Ruben Castaneda here, author of S Street Rising, my book about covering the crime beat for The Washington Post during the crack era. The book is part memoir, but it is also a chronicle of the city during its most violent era. 

        

I'll be appearing at Showtime Lounge on Saturday, March 14, at 4 p.m. to read from the book, talk about what Bloomingdale used to be like (lots of drugs and murders) and answer questions. You are of course welcome, and I was hoping you could spread the word through your listserve.

        

The Washington Post named S Street Rising one fo 50 notable works of nonfiction published in 2014, and Brightest Young Things named it one of the best books of 2014. 

    

Here is a link to the website, which includes several reviews: www.sstreetrising.com.
