Schaanged!: Tales from the Trenches of New York

By S R Andrew

Eddie doesn't have bad luck. He has New York luck.

The kind that turns a pizza delivery job into a distant memory and leaves you mopping floors in a Manhattan building you could never afford to live in.

Caught between Washington Heights chaos and Upper West Side entitlement, Eddie spends his days cleaning up other people's disasters while trying to survive his own. Wealthy residents, neighborhood hustlers, impossible situations, and bad decisions always seem to have a way of finding him.

But Eddie has a word for when life goes sideways: Schaang.

Part survival code, part philosophy, and part psychological defense mechanism, "Schaang" is how Eddie navigates a city that never stops testing him.

Schaanged : Tales from the Trenches of New York is a gritty, darkly funny portrait of working-class New York with equal parts bruise and punchline in large doses.
