A semi-autobiographical tale of two best friends traversing the backyards of New Jersey in search of the American Dream. Like a 200 page Bruce Springsteen song, Play The Devil is permeated by a sense of nostalgia and loss, of love and redemption, with images of old Americana littering the novel like scenes from a movie, it is an essential coming-of-age story for the next generation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eWelcome to post 9\/11 America, where capitalism and apathy run rampant and men like Donald Trump can become president.
