Description
It's hard to be good when living is expensive. And times are tough on the streets these days. Luckily for Rilke at Bowery Auctions, the demand for no-questions-asked cash is at an all-time high, and business is booming.
When Rilke hears his old acquaintance Les is fresh out of prison, his inclination is to stay well out of his way. Letting sleeping dogs lie is one thing—but when one of Bowery's customers winds up dead on their tarmac, Rilke needs a bit of help from his friends to tidy things up. If only his friends didn't have such a habit of making things worse.
The Cut Up navigates the murky waters of friendship and desperation in a fast-paced, sharply observed narrative that is as much about the cost of living as it is about the price of survival.
