Skid Row

Set in Memphis, Tennessee, during the Great Depression, "Skid Row" follows the lives of a group of laborers known as tinners--Jew Bill, Shorty, Fingers, Grinder, Swede, and Junior. Teeming with vivid narrative about a lively yet lonely street from a time and place long-forgotten, the tale is told through the eyes of a young lad growing up while working in his father's tin shop.
