Jonathan D. Clark's first novel We See Clark at his rawest stage of development within the pages of Division Street, his voice not yet fully formed, with only a brief glimpse here and there as to what he would eventually become as a writer. The American Dream is dead. With the country lying in economic ruin, its streets overrun with drugs and prostitution, a small group of friends do their best to survive in a town void of hope, uncertain whether or not they'll last another night. A year after the death of his girlfriend Claire, Edie Procter can't seem to shake the memory of her from his dreams. But after stumbling across an unnamed street drug, Eddie begins to experience lurid visions-visions of a world where Claire is still alive and the nation still thrives economically. Are they only hallucinations, or has Eddie managed to find a way to be with Claire once more? Clark's cynical lens of scrutiny is still apparent throughout his remastered debut novel . . . where he lacked in scope at the beginning of his career, he made up for with emotional impact. You still feel for his characters, even if you despise them to their core.
