Street Fighting Man

About the Book

Street Fighting Man chronicles the experiences of a group of young Brooklyn toughs who, coming of age in the emerging Sixties counterculture, turn to playing rock and roll music to escape the streets. Kevin O´Brien´s street fighting consumes an inordinate amount of time. He´s not as adept as others with his fists and so he takes to carrying deadly weapons. Following a brush with the law, Kevin immerses himself in the drums in an attempt to “straighten himself out.” The transition is less than seamless, however, and trouble continues to stalk him into the Sixties renaissance.
