Education of a Felon

"Edward Bunker's experiences in California's toughest prisons, on the mean streets of Los Angeles, and in Hollywood's seamy underworld have enabled him to write some of the grittiest and affecting prison novels of our time.". "Now, for the first time, Bunker, who was sent to San Quentin (for the first time) at the age of seventeen, tells the real stories of his life - there's no fiction here. Whether smoking a joint in a gas chamber chair, leaving fingerprints on a knife connected with a serial killer, or swimming in the Neptune Pool at San Simeon, Bunker delivers the goods. He spent half of his life living the harsh life, and the other half writing about it."--BOOK JACKET.

First sentence: IN MARCH OF 1933, Southern California suddenly began to rock and roll to a sound from deep within the ground.
