I first heard about this book on NPR and have wanted to read it since that time. A graduate student decides to take his research to an unprecedented, potentially dangerous level when he learns the ropes around the Cabrini-Green projects in Chicago, befriending a gang leader in the process. This is about the economics of poverty as much as it is about unexpected friendship. Really enjoyed it. Sudhir, you have balls of steel!!
