Set over the course of twelve hours in San Francisco, ROSCOE follows a man living on the city's streets whose intelligence, dark humor, and keen powers of observation invite readers into a world most of us choose not to see. As he moves through the city, chance encounters, fragments of conversation, and quiet moments of reflection gradually reveal a life shaped by loss, resilience, and hard-earned wisdom. Told in a distinctive first-person voice, ROSCOE is a compelling story that explores visibility, dignity, and the fragile boundaries between belonging and exclusion without sentimentality or easy answers.ROSCOE is a literary novel in which voice is as central as story. Set in contemporary San Francisco, it offers an intimate portrait of a man whose intelligence and humanity challenge conventional perceptions, revealing a city-and one of its forgotten inhabitants-from an unexpected perspective.
