    <![CDATA[Dinky is the son of an incarcerated drug king, and is trying to distance himself from his father's reputation.Jose hasn't gotten over being dumped by a high-maintenance girlfriend, who has since moved on to the neighborhood's new drug dealer, Angel.Together, the two teenage boys are the secret masterminds behind the &quot;Buddha Book,&quot; an underground comic book that tells outrageous-but true-tales about their life in the South Bronx. Their already turbulent world begins to unravel when, Jose, in a fit of rage, murders his ex.With no witnesses, it's a perfect crime, but one that Jose can't live with.Haunted by the image of the girl who wouldn't go away, he searches for a way to confess.So Dinky and Jose produce one final issue of the &quot;Buddha Book&quot; . . . Raw, inspired, and darkly funny, The Buddha Book is a powerful novel that brilliantly evokes teenagers at war with themselves and with the place in which they live. AUTHORBIO: Abraham Rodriguez is the author of Spidertown, and a collection of short stories entitled The Boy Without a Flag, a New York Times Notable Book of the Year in 1993. He is a panel member of the New York State Council on the Arts.He lives in the Bronx, New York.]]>
