Overview

Gangsters, Harlots & Thieves: Good Times, Bad Times At The Hotel Clifton is an updated version of Gangsters, Harlots & Thieves: Down And Out At The Hotel Clifton expanded to 338 pages with recently found poetry and essays adding more depth and texture to the outlaw world small press writer Todd Moore grew up in. Gangsters, Harlots & Thieves: Good Times, Bad Times At The Hotel Clifton paints a stark, sometimes difficult picture of what it was like growing up in and around the skid row environs of the infamous Clifton Hotel in the bare knuckled 1940's and '50's of small-town America told by Moore himself through his unique film noir style of writing through essays and poetry. Todd Moore was born and raised in Freeport Illinois. He wrote and published well over a hundred books of poetry and prose dating back to the 1970's, much of it released through his own small press, ""road/house."" He was also a primary co-founder of the literary movement known as ""Outlaw Poetry."" Moore is best remembered for writing and publishing books about outlaw John Dillinger from 1978 up until his death in 2010, numbering well over a thousand plus pages in length. He is survived by wife Barbara, sons Theron, and Jason, and two grandchildren, Emma, and Jake.
