Tug - Paperback

by Stephen Todd Booker (Author)

An inmate on Florida's death row writes piercingly of incarceration, racism and growing up.

Stephen Todd Booker, an inmate on Florida's death row, writes piercingly of incarceration. But he also sings, in a voice at once jagged and polished, of racism in Brooklyn and the South and of growing up black in 20th-century America, as he examines his life experience with metaphors that test the limits of language.
