Fiction C431i
17-year old
Ror comes from the boonies and is tough as nails and all she really cares about
is drawing and painting and making art. She ends up in the ghetto that was
Manhattan in 1984, where she discovers that the walls, the subways, the bridges
are covered with art. Before long, she runs into trouble with Trey, the
ultimate bad boy and president of Noise Ink, a graffiti crew she desperately
wants to join at all costs.
When Ror falls in love with Trey, she realizes she’ll do just about anything to get up in the scene. She has some decisions to make: she wants to be a street artist but she doesn’t want get shot by the cops; she wants her stuff in the museum but she doesn’t want to die waiting to become famous; she wants to makes money selling her work in a gallery but she doesn’t want to be a puppet at the mercy of a dealer. The book follows her descent into a dangerous world, where her drawings are her only salvation.
Ror’s journey is a seamless blend of words and pictures, cinematic in its scope - a sharp-edged, indelible creation that will live inside your head.
