Natural Enemies relates the misadventures of Tom, an idealistic young man who spends his life savings to invest in a dilapidated apartment building. Tensions rapidly develop between the hapless, naive landlord and his entrenched, entitled tenants. Painting a vivid picture of life in Hoboken, New Jersey in the 1980's, the book is laugh-out-loud funny and refreshingly NOT politically correct. A work of fiction, Natural Enemies is based on the author's experience as a landlord. T. Weed is Dale Walker's pen name. Walker also wrote Fool's Paradise, a travelogue about Saudi Arabia, which was short-listed for the Pulitzer Prize. Natural Enemies is a must-read for landlords, people considering buying an apartment building, and anyone tempted to take desperate measures to save an investment gone south.
