Description



About the Book



Edward Bunker tells the quintessential story of Alex Hamilton's frustration and anger at a system that has done nothing but provide him with pain.



Book Synopsis



Raised within the confines of a system that has done nothing but provide him with pain, Alex Hamilton's frustration and anger are completely natural--and inherently dangerous.
Since his parents split up, Alex has been constantly running from foster homes and institutions, yearning to be with his father, a broken man who cannot give his son the home he desperately needs. The only constant in Alex's life is no-good, criminally-minded peers, who are all too ready to plant illegal ideas in an intelligent mind. Bunker writes, "His unique potential would develop into unique destructiveness."



Review Quotes




"Bunker is a true original of American letters. His books are criminal classics." --James Ellroy

"Bunker (is) among the tiny band of American prisoner-writers whose work possesses integrity, craftsmanship, and moral passion...an artist with a unique and compelling voice." --William Styron

"Bunker shoots straight--his direct and transparent prose captures the 'primacy of violence' that defines life in the slammer." --Kirkus Reviews
