By John Resko. “Just twelve hundred seconds left before you walk that last mile — and then a phone rings”; “The hard, brutal, often shocking story of a convicted murderer, his life in prison, his magnificent struggle back to freedom.” Subject of a famous profile in The New Yorker, Resko became a noteworthy visual artist; his crimoir was the basis for all-star film Convicts 4.
This 1958 Bantam PB is in very nice shape for its age: some cornerwear and page toning, but sits very straight, pages very snug. A fantastic pickup of a relative rarity.
