Red Hook is an atmospheric and gritty novel set in the Lower East Side of Manhattan in the early 1980s. Told in the alternating perspectives of two boys, Cohen's debut creates a riveting portrait of a vanishing neighborhood and a lost generation.

At sixteen and fifteen, Cohen's protagonists are inseparable, sharing a love of music, art, and mischief. But when the punk scene in the neighborhood starts to die out, they find themselves drifting apart. Young Cohen is drawn to the excitement and danger of the street life; his older friend is content to stay in the safety of the neighborhood.

As the years go by, Cohen's characters struggle to find their place in a changing world. When the AIDS epidemic begins to take hold, their relationships take on a new intensity. Red Hook is a powerful and affecting novel about the power of friendship, love, and family.; 8vo; Signed by Author.
