N.O. Drugstore is located at the improbable intersection of South
Claiborne Avenue and South Carrollton Avenue in New Orleans. Its
idiosyncratic clientele draws as much from mostly poor-black
Pigeontown as it does from the mostly rich-white University
section. And no one knows this better than the three people who man
the pharmacy on even days of the month. As different in style and
temperament as their customers, Luciana Jambon, Lennon Israel, and
Vendetta Greene are the protagonists of this story. Told in third
person from their alternating points of view, "Side Effects plays
out their respective family feuds, usually somewhere between the
Seasonal Specials and the Depends aisles. Corralled as they are
with one another twelve hours a day, romance and splendid
friendship blossom among Luciana, Lennon, and Vendetta, because
it's really only a low counter that separates them from everyone
else.
