Produktbeschreibung

Dorian, a bright, forceful young dreamer, drops out of high school on Chicago's notorious Old West Side, a victim of dyslexia. They were called then simply dummies. And an angry Dorian's quickly falling in with other defiant dropouts, many violent, roaming the dark back streets of the West Side, taking crap from nobody. Gradually, they end up hanging out at "Dominic's" infamous, dim lit pool hall, where no less than Al Capone's brother often flashes fistfuls of hundreds, during tense all night poker games. And Dorian, before even reaching twenty, goes unquestioning on daring bank robberies, extortion schemes and burglaries until that awful, inevitable moment arrives. He's ordered to murder somebody!

A surge of decency, though, rushes up in him and he goes running for his life aboard a bus speeding to New York, leaving the Mafia starkly behind him. And weird as it sounds, he's choosing New York cause that's where the writers are. Though he can't even read, what he's lived through is so overwhelming he's just mad to tell this mind-blowing tale. And soon he's living in the excitement of Greenwich Village among its poets and professors, criminals and socialites, finally moving in with a daring young woman, Ana Macalester, where he begins struggling maniacally on and on, learning to read then incredibly to write until his thousands of ill-gotten dollars runs out, leaving him utterly broke. Though absolutely knowing better, he insolently takes a 15,000 dollar loan from East Side Frankie, the loan shark. And now, yes, Dorian's dealing with the mob again but in such an amazing, striking way, it won't let you put down this book for a moment.

Autorenporträt

Most of all, I'm a curious, adventurous writer, encountering many extraordinary people and places, sometimes beautiful, sometimes evil. And for many years, I'd been describing this passionately and publishing frequently with New York's renown William Morse Agency representing me. As a result, a main stream publisher, The Dial Press, brought out a volume of my "new Journalism" (popular decades ago). And In its wake, I began vigorously free lancing articles and reviews for The New York Times Sunday Book Review and daring reporting soon after for The Nation, The Village Voice and many other publications.But then, unfortunately, I was stricken with a serious illness, ending my writing for a dreadfully long time. Ultimately though, when I at last blessedly recovered, my writing began again, this time deeper, more intense, more heartfelt than ever and dedicated to fiction now, powerful fiction. Sadly however, after such a long time, my relationship with William Morse lapsed. But even more devisting are my lost contacts with responsive editors and publishers, many of whom have retired or are on life support or have passed on. So thank heavens there's self publishing. And my novel, "The Passion Of Anyaskaya", found a home there and a screenplay based on my harrowing adventures, working on the Alaska Pipeline, during its construction, will soon join it. But what most needs attention is the novel I'm presenting now, "Savage Days Haunted Nights".
