The Lotus Crew by Meyer
Tommy, a fiercely ambitious gangster?s son, and Alvira, a junkie who ?doesn?t want to scuffle,? become partners in the merciless world of junkies and dealers on the Lower East Side of New York City. Tommy uses his finely tuned street smarts to dodge the cops while deftly navigating the tightly organized hierarchy of the trade. The team is soon known for putting out the best bag in New York. When Tommy and Alvira are betrayed by one of their own crew, they enact a bloody revenge to restore the order of the street.
?The Lotus Crew is a superbly crafted novel that says the most basic things about power, corruption, loyalty and the total need of heroin addictionStewart Meyer is a writer to watch; The Lotus Crew is better than a movie? William S Burroughs ?Meyer catches the sweaty desperation without romance or censure? Village Voice

He attended the City University of New York and audited William S. Burroughs's lecture series on creative writing.
