“Concrete Cowboy” (2021) Review: An Endangered and Unknown Subculture
Ricky Staub’s Concrete Cowboy, based on Greg Neri’s novel "Ghetto Cowboy", tells the story of a young teenager forced to adapt to a new lifestyle.
As Written
For acclaimed novelist Brian Johnson, the stage of his final book reading becomes an unexpected tribunal. The ""visitors,"" who confront him are hauntingly familiar.
Their question to Johnson: ""Have you truly been facing us all along?"" unlocks a flood of buried memories and regret as Johnson finally recognizes them as characters from his own novels. This unsettling encounter awakens a part of himself he had nearly forgotten, compelling him to seek answers to the questions that define an author's soul: What is creation? To whom does a story belong? And what does it truly mean to write?
