Drugs, prostitution, homelessness, sexual abuse of children, venereal disease, pyromania, murder. I was amazed this is considered suitable for children aged 9 and up. Most adults would find this book disturbing. I sought out books by the author after being impressed with his movie Winter Passing. Recommended for those intrigued rather than offended by the first line -- "On top of everything else, Boobie's got the clap." A worthwhile read, but bleak.
