NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE
 
In this striking debut from the author of the National Book Award winner Paris Trout, Pete Dexter chronicles a murder and its consequences in the fictional blue-collar Philadelphia neighborhood of God’s Pocket.
 
Leon Hubbard makes other men nervous, talking to himself or anyone who will listen about the things he’s cut with his straight razor. So when he crosses the wrong guy on a South Philly construction site and winds up with his head caved in, everyone is content to bury the bad news with the body. Everyone, that is, except Leon’s mother—and a local newspaper columnist hoping the story will resurrect his career. Only a mother could love a man like Leon. But only an outsider could expect to change anything in God’s Pocket.
 
Praise for God’s Pocket
 
“Riveting . . . a first-class first novel . . . highlighted by superior writing, dialogue that rings true, and a highly believable background.”—Associated Press
 
God’s Pocket sings, snarls, mugs, wisecracks, buys you a drink, steals your wallet, and takes you home to meet the folks.”—Richard Price
 
“My own favorite among Mr. Dexter’s work remains God’s Pocket, which I continue to admire for its rich, well-nigh Dickensian mixture of verisimilitude, real-life absurdity, horror and romance.”—Robert Stone, The New York Times Book Review
 
“Rollicking . . . a tough Philadelphia neighborhood comes to life in these pages.”Playboy

These actually work! I love them!
These socks actually work! I have struggled for so long to deal with dryness. I’m a big runner and workout every day and my feet get so dry and cracked and never have a chance to heal. After shower, I put neosporin on the areas that were really bad, and then put these socks on and went to bed. When I woke up in the morning it was like my feet were magically fixed! The only thing I will warn of, which isn’t a negative, is the size. I am a womens 9 1/2 shoe size. If my feet were any bigger then these socks would not fit comfortably. My heels would be coming out of them. Otherwise, they are soft, comfy, and definitely do the job!
