Howard Street is major literary rediscovery, having sold more than a million copies.
It is based on authentic first-hand Newark Street experiences with unique insight into the psychology, motivations and lingo of the shadowy figures who inhabit the ghetto night: pimps, whores, junkies, dope dealers, winos, corrupt cops, young hoodlums and those trying to live the straight and narrow life among them..
One of the first literary depictions of black urban life, this hard-boiled novel evokes a unique insight into an often untold aspect of African-American culture.
This searing novel was written inside of Trenton State Prison in 1968.
