Todd Murphy’s “Homeless”: A memoir of a forgotten man
“Homeless: A Day in the Life” follows author Todd Murphy’s own experiences from when he lived on the streets for two and a half years. Our friend, the protagonist, spends a day panhandling, searching for food, and dumpster diving while always deep in thought. The narrative, while not complex, is interesting and real and carries the harsh realities of living on the street — while somehow managing not to get bogged down with despair.
