Synopsis
Eddie and his older brother Turtle live in a downtrodden neighborhood in 1995 Arizona. When their father takes off, the boys are left with their mother and grandmother, and they are devastated. Turtle turns to drugs and crime and ends up in jail. Eddie has ambitions to be a boxer, but his attraction to a beautiful w****, and his struggles with God and Islam--and the hostile world around him--make his journey out of the ghetto a precarious one.

A first novel.

Industry Reviews
"NIGHT JOURNEY is a kind of beautiful anachronism: a confident, poetic novel. It's as familiar as the nightly news but resonates like a dream."
New York Times Book Review - Sasha Frere-Jones (11/30/2003)

"Kalam's sense of the grotesque gives the novel a vivid, fluorescent glow."
Publishers Weekly (08/25/2003)

"[A]n impressive debut....[O]n page after page Kalam offers up sharply observed and vividly rendered set pieces, making this a solid first by a writer who bears watching."
Kirkus (09/01/2003)
