A major literary rediscovery, this is a searing first novel written inside Trenton State Prison in 1968. Howard Street has sold over a million copies.
One of the first literary depictions of black ghetto life, this hard boiled novel evokes a lost time in African-American culture.
It's based on authentic first-hand Newark street experiences with unique insight into the psychology, motivations and lingo of the shadowy figures who inhabit the ghetto night: pimps, whores, junkies, dope dealers, winos, corrupt cops, and young hoodlums.
The writing is often categorized with "black experience" legends as Donald Goines and Iceberg Slim, and is informed by the disciplined and inspired prose of Jim Thompson, Charles Willeford, and Chester Himes.
