‘Rage Is Back’ by Adam Mansbach

Back in the late-’80s, Billy Rage was the man, the most prolific and stylistically impressive graffiti artist in New York City — until he disappeared.

Fast forward to 2005 and the narration of Rage’s son, Kilroy Dondi Vance, an intellectually gifted 18-year-old Brooklynite and self-described “nerd with swagger” who makes side money by “selling hydroponic sinsemilla to stainless steel refrigerator owners living in neighborhoods that had just been invented.”
