Why read it?
1 author picked Life as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Bar fights are among the more banal of crimes, but when murder results the criminal law justly responds with severity.
Under the pseudonym of "Zeno" the author (Gerald La Marque) gives an account of almost a decade in English prisons as an "ordinary" lifer. There is no self-pity, instead an acknowledgement of the justness of his punishment and a custodial life lived with stoical acceptance.
The book communicates with disturbing realism.
From Seán's list on prison books based experience and truth rather than invention and sensationalism.
