Overview

Meet Roscoe: philosopher and quiet provocateur with clear views on society, the state of the world, and man without a home. From the streets of San Francisco, he tells his story in a voice that's raw, irreverent, and piercingly sincere. Through his eyes, we see the world's cruelty and its small mercies-the beatings, the laughter, the forgotten humanity that flickers even in the dark.At its core, this book is an act of witnessing. Roscoe's story unfolds over just twelve hours-a brief but focused glimpse into the life of one unusual man living on the street.Part confession, part social reckoning, Roscoe is a journey through the fractured soul of modern America. At times, brutally honest, then again, funny and deeply moving.Gregor reminds us that even those we no longer see still dream, still feel, and still have something vital to say.

Author Information

Born in Beirut in 1962 to an English-Scottish father and a Turkish-Lebanese mother, Andrew J. Gregor spent his early years in the city of his birth. In 1972, his parents sent him to a British boarding school in the United Kingdom to shield their only child from the war in Lebanon. After completing his A-levels in 1980, he studied at the Oxford University School of Architecture, where he earned a BA (Hons) in Architecture along with a postgraduate diploma in Architecture and Interior Design. In 1987, he moved to Germany and established a successful, award-winning architectural practice, designing millions of square feet of commercial and residential space. In 2004, he relocated to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he continued his work in residential design and construction, becoming known for his focus on sustainable design.A polyglot fluent in four languages, including Arabic and French, Gregor has lived in many cultures and traveled extensively, gaining a broad international perspective that informs his writing.Although highly successful in architecture-first in Germany and later in California-he has long maintained a passion for storytelling. His award-winning debut novel, THEM (2024), explores themes of youth, identity, and ideological conflict in contemporary America, and has been widely praised for its emotional depth, clarity, and incisive social commentary.
