Blistering depiction of street survival in Tucson, AZ. Our protagonist suffers nothing less than present-tense Hell as he navigates an intoxicated state from drugs, from heat exhaustion, from despair. Truly captures the climate of its locale, which additionally supports the story's apocalyptic yet very personal mood. A real departure for the The New Yorker's short story department--and a welcome one.
This is probably the best New Yorker story I have ever read. It is funny to the extreme, but maybe that's just because the narrator's a druggy. A brilliantly paced and plotted short story that really deserves to be read again and again when one is feeling blue.

Part of Lodato's "Tucson Stories" series that have appeared in diverse venues. No one makes Tucson feel more fascinating than Lodato, and "Jack July" is one of his best.
