- Summary:
- Still relevant today, Piri Thomas's classic memoir of the "barrio" of Spanish Harlem celebrates its 30th anniversary of publication with a new Introduction by the author. As Thomas recounts his transformation from gang member, junkie, and stick-up man to poet of the streets, his memoir breathes new meaning into our notions of manhood, survival, and redemption.
