It ought to be called trash but it is too much fun to be that. Literary prize potential is nil but a reader won’t care when they are delighted to have the book in hand. In Seth Greenland’s Shining City the narrator begins as Marcus, moves on to Breeze, and caps his life and career as Pimp Daddy, hip deep in money. The schmuck stumbles at first but then finds his stride, keeps the love and loyalty of a smart wife, raises a decent son, and enjoys the company of a funky mother-in-law. How does he do it you ask? He is a native of Los Angeles where all things are possible. Charles Marlin
