Tuff

Main Ideas

• An exploration of the paradoxes of identity and self-determination in multicultural Brooklyn, where every step the hero takes is a battle between street legacy and the dream of change
• A grotesque satire of the American political system, where even the most absurd characters crave power, turning elections into farce and spectacle
• A subtle reflection on fatherhood and male vulnerability, where love and cruelty, care and alienation intertwine in a complex web of relationships
• A sharp exposure of stereotypes about race, class, and crime, where the author, with irony and compassion, reveals the social wounds of the metropolis
• An immersion into the world of street poetry and unique humor, where language becomes a weapon and laughter a way to survive and resist the absurdity of reality
