Manhattan Without Corners

di Amadeus M (Autore)

Amadeus M, 2025

What happens when a dream vacation becomes a fight for your life? She arrived in Manhattan with a single suitcase, a passport, and a fragile hope for escape. The city of glass and steel promised excitement, but by the end of her first night, that promise was broken. A catastrophic hack wiped her bank account clean. Stranded, alone, and swiftly evicted from her Airbnb, she is thrust into the invisible underworld of New York City's homeless. This is her story a harrowing, minute-by-minute descent. From the first terrifying night on a concrete bench to the complex, dangerous hierarchies of the shelter system. From the betrayal of stolen belongings to the gnawing hunger that forces her into grueling, under-the-table work. As a brutal winter tightens its grip, the cold becomes a predator in its own right, and survival demands unthinkable compromises. Driven to the edge of human endurance, she is offered a reprieve: a small bag of heroin that promises warmth and oblivion. It is a decision that will grant her temporary solace at the cost of her very self. "Manhattan Without Corners" is a raw, immersive, and devastatingly honest portrait of collapse. It explores how quickly a life can unravel and how the line between a tourist and a homeless addict is terrifyingly thin. Inspired by real events, this novel is a stark reminder of the resilience hidden within the human spirit and the unseen battles fought in the shadows of a glittering, indifferent city. For readers of powerful, character-driven literary fiction that explores the darkest corners of human experience, this is a story that will haunt you long after the final page.
