Two-Up

Novels about the blue-collar world are rare: seldom does someone near the cellar of society escape to tell the tale. Eric Miles Williamson joined the Laborers Union when he graduated from high school in 1979 and spent seven years as a gunite construction worker, witnessing atrocities that don't make the evening news. ""Two-Up"" is Williamson's fictional account of a journey through the nightmare of the American labor inferno.
