Critically Acclaimed Writer of THE WIRE names YOUNG JUNIUS a BEST BOOK OF 2010
In a recent online article, award-winning and Emmy-nominated author George Pelecanos named small press-published YOUNG JUNIUS by Seth Harwood a Best Book of 2010.
Called the “poet laureate of the D.C. crime world” by Esquire, George Pelecanos is the author of fifteen crime novels set in and around Washington, DC and recently served as a producer, writer, and story editor for the acclaimed HBO dramatic series The Wire.
Just as The Wire won the Peabody Award and the AFI Award for its gritty, hard-hitting look at the urban, educational, and political conflicts of Baltimore, YOUNG JUNIUS brings to life the dangerous inner city housing towers of Boston. Pelecanos says of YOUNG JUNIUS: “The plot moves but you will be most taken by the complexity of the large cast of characters. Harwood does not revert to type.”
