Streets 1970, by Merle Molofsky: An Unfortunate, Uncanny Relevance
Streets 1970, a novel written in 1971 and published by IP Books in 2015, is a gritty, street-savvy, poetic account of the heroin epidemic in New York City in 1970. The main characters are heroin addicts, looking for what Allen Ginsberg termed the next “angry fix”, and struggling to find meaning in a life of poverty and crime. Today, in 2018, the United States is in the grip of a virulent opioid epidemic. The New York Times reported, May 29, 2018, that there is “a mounting epidemic that involves prescription opioids, and, increasingly, illegal opioid compounds like heroin and counterfeit forms of fentanyl”. Molofsky’s compassion and depth of understanding in telling her story chimes chillingly with the crisis we face today. We can learn a lot from this unfortunate, uncanny relevance.

Praise for this Book from Leading Authorities in the Scientific and Forensic Fields:
“This book is a murder mystery but not a ‘who done it?’ We know who fired the shots through the door of the toilet room killing Reeva, the girlfriend of Oscar Pistorius. He had been asleep next to her when he was awakened by a noise he thought was due to one or more intruders. He ran to the bathroom calling to Reeva to phone the police and shouting to the intruder(s) to get out of his house. Neither she nor they responded. After being frozen in fear, he shot through the locked door and thendiscovered Reeva close to death. From here on the story is a detailed analysis of the legal procedures, the misunderstandings of the state of mind of the accused: was he fully conscious and so responsible for murder? The author, Brent Willock, is highly informed to make a compelling case that Oscar was not fully conscious, therefore not responsible, and to address Continue reading The Wrongful Conviction of Oscar Pistorius by Brent Willock
