Education of a Felon Summary
|
Edward Bunkers experiences in California's toughest prisons, on the mean streets of Los Angeles, and in Hollywood's seamy underworld have enabled him to write some of the grittiest and affecting prison novels of our time. Quentin Tarantino called Bunkers Little Boy Blue "the best first-person crime novel I've ever read," while The New York Times said of his novel Dog Eat Dog, "Mr. Bunker has written a raw, unromantic, naturalistic crime drama more lurid than anything the noiresque Chandlers or Hammetts ever dreamed up." Now, for the first time, Bunker, who was sent to San Quentin (for the first time) at the age of seventeen, tells the real stories of his life -- there's no fiction here. Whether smoking a joint in a gas chamber chair, leaving fingerprints on a knife connected with a serial killer, or swimming in the Neptune Pool at San Simeon, Bunker delivers the goods. He spent half of his life living the harsh life, and the other half writing about it. Finally his readers have been let into the raw and unexpurgated world of Edward Bunker. It doesn't get any realer than this.
"Bunker is a true original of American letters." JAMES ELLROY "Edward Bunker writes about the netherworld of society's outcasts with a passion and insight from having lived life close to the bone." "Bunker is among the tiny band of American writers whose work possesses integrity, craftsmanship, and moral passion."
