"Heroin junkie describes robbing guy coming out of bar near Harvard, going to Chinatown to buy heroin, shooting up with his friends. Heroin has been cut with Drano and the first shooter dies. They dump him in garbage can. Quite a section--I wouldn't be surprised nor would I argue if someone accused Foster of racism here, it's close--told in vernacular of junkie. The guy can write."
Excellent start . . . orphaned girl with a knack for chess, taught by janitor, harsh orphanage despite its courtly look.
