Trying his hand at fiction, Danny Simmons paints a vivid, sexy and extremely hilarious portrait of 1980s New York and its decadent art world. But this isn't a book about art. It's a story of awakening. In three days Crow Shade is transformed from a scrounging Brooklyn coke addict to studnet of the artists. Ways. There's plenty of wine, women and white lines. But the most important thing is that by the end Crow is forces to see himself for who he really is, and more importantly who he wants to be.
