Dope, duplicity, and violence fill this gasser of a novel from a protégé of William S. Burroughs.
Set in the scorched cityscape of the Reagan-era Lower East Side of Manhattan, The Lotus Crew is Stewart Meyer's harrowing yet humorous tale of loyalty and betrayal in the face of heroin addiction. Two street junkies, the introverted Alvira and the gregarious Tommy, team up to spark a street-retailing crew pushing the best heroin in town. In the abandoned buildings and back alleys of an Alphabet City that is as dangerous as the Wild West, the stamp of the Triad crew on a glassine bag of dope means it's a smoker.
The duo is wildly successful until someone counterfeits the Triad seal and triggers a reaction from Tommy that leads to violence - and to a rude awakening for Alvira.

The Lotus Crew (Audible Audio Edition) Stewart Meyer Fleet Cooper Audible Studios Books Reviews
C'mon guys. Drugs aren't fun or cool, nor are juvenile little books about the "gritty" culture. I'm happy to report I found this book somewhere and didnt pay a dime for it. And then I foisted it upon a friend so someone could share my misery.
This book is the best thing since sliced bread as far as anything written about the L.E.S. dope scene in the early to mid 80's. Mr. Meyer captures the feel of this hardcore environment with his lean prose and vivid imagery. This book is the son and heir of Burrough's Junky. A must read for anyone interested in this genre.
Noir in New York City's Lower Eastside drug world from Burroughs' protege, Stewart Meyers. Electric prose.
This book grows on you. I re-read it. I changed my mind. I like it. It appears like a simplified tale at first. Look again and you see there is depth and talent in it. I'm a stubborn critic, and Meyer's work managed to change my mind. Writing about this subject always navigates a fine line, and the author did so with great skill.
Good character development begs the questions where did these people come from and where did they go? Is there a sequel to this book? Character named "Specs" clearly understands that there is more to this story than drug use -- he's seems to be an observer as well as a participant in the story. Who is he before the story begins and what happens to him when the story ends?
As a protege of William Burroughs, it seems that Mr. Meyer could tell us more; he has the inside track (no pun intended)as well as the the storytelling skills to tell us more. Would he?
This book is a classic must-read if you are interested in New York City, the drug subculture, or inter-personal relationships.
Such a well written book about the sleazy New York known as alphabet city back in the day. OF my top 2 favorite books of all time.
Did not care for this book at all...too much drug slang talk....very boring!
