OverviewHemingway said, A man should never write what he doesn't know. In the mid-fifties, Harlan Ellison--kicked out of college and hungry to write--went to New York to start his writing career. It was a time of street gangs, rumbles, kids with switchblades and zip guns made from car radio antennas. Ellison was barely out of his teens himself, but he took a phony name, moved into Brooklyn's dangerous Red Hook section and managed to con his way into a bopping club. What he experienced (and the time he spent in jail as a result) was the basis for the violent story that Alfred Hitchcock filmed as the first of his hour-long TV dramas...This autobiography is a book whose message you won't be able to ignore or forget. Harlan Ellison is the dark prince of American letters, cutting through our corrupted midnight fog with a switchblade prose. He simply must be read. --Pete Hamill Ellison writes with sensitivity as well as guts--a rare combination. --Leslie Charteris, creator of The Saint Full Product DetailsAuthor: Harlan EllisonPublisher: eReads.com Imprint: eReads.com Dimensions: Width: 14.00cm , Height: 1.00cm , Length: 21.60cm Weight: 0.236kg ISBN: 9780759253261ISBN 10: 0759253269 Pages: 180 Publication Date: 04 August 2009 Audience: General/trade , General Format: Paperback Publisher's Status: Unknown Availability: Out of print, replaced by POD We will order this item for you from a manufatured on demand supplier.
