The River Foyle Press Literary Fiction
Ira David Socol The Drool Room
"I ain't crazy," declares the narrator of this
stunningly original novel, "I'm not."
But sanity is always an elusive thing in this tale that carries the reader
through
a life torn apart by anger, frustration, and disappointment - but held together
by an absolute refusal to "give up."
A first grader who can neither read nor sit
still. An angry junior high student lashing out
at those trying to help. A self-medicating high school athlete. All this leads
us to an adult police officer
on the streets of The Bronx at the most crime-wracked moment in New York City
history.
The Drool Room may not make you love its
complex protagonist, but it will force you to see life through
the fascinating eyes of a remarkable character.
