Beschreibung

<p><b>'A stark depiction of the "alligator pond" of prison life ... Rage tempered with compassion ... [its] emotional core continues to smoulder' </b><i><b>The New York Times Book Review</b><br></i><br>Thrill-seeking teenager Jimmy Monroe is serving a twenty-year sentence for robbery in the state penitentiary, where terror and chaos reign, corrupt guards inflict casual violence, and men try to preserve their dignity amid isolation and inhumanity. When a fire breaks out, setting hell and mayhem loose, it seems Jimmy's entire world is unravelling. But as he develops a tender relationship with fellow convict Rico, hope begins to glimmer, and, through his eventual foray into writing, something resembling redemption. Originally published in 1952, in an expurgated version, as <i>Cast the First Stone</i>, <i>Yesterday Will Make You Cry</i> draws on Chester Himes's own youthful experiences of imprisonment to face down the scouring truths of harm and love. <br><br>'Himes at the top of his game ... what an amazing book it is' Melvin Van Peebles</p>
