Memoir by the author of "It's Cold Out There" and "On the Yard," detailing his relentless pursuit, during the many years he spent in prison (eighteen of his first forty), of "the flaw in his character that made a hard-bitten five-time loser out of a sensitive, eloquent human being" -- and his self-transformation from criminal/convict to successful novelist. .
