Bent

Petty theft and blatant drug use saturate the tale of three teens hell-bent on a life of reckless abandon in Louisville, KY. Bent tells the story of how strength in brotherhood and youthful indiscretion can be the ultimate distraction from one's true reality. Written by Damian Gerlach, this memoir chronicles his age of experimentation, his struggle between reasoning and thought, and his rite of passage thru the drug culture of this time. Hilarious episodes of adolescent flashbacks told through the lingo of his urban youth make this novel essential reading for those that have lived thru similar circumstances, and more so for those that have never experienced a culture such as this. If you’ve never challenged authority, never questioned whether there was an obtuse angle to your living, or wanted to go against the grain, then you have never truly lived as one does when they’re living Bent.
