Description

A significant National story, and perhaps the best work of literature ever to arise from the US jail, About the Lawn is just a guide of penetrating emotional reality by which Malcolm Braly offers an unforgettable picture of the scary and complicated world of the penitentiary. At its heart would be the strongly connected tales of Cool Willy, in big trouble with what the law states from his earliest years and today the top of the jailis thriving black-market in drugs and sex, and of Paul, wracked with remorse for the murder of his partner and eager for some type of payoff. At the same time sensitive and raw, clear-eyed and rueful, About the Lawn provides the penitentiary never as an unique area, an exclusion to daily reality, but being an ordinary position, one every audience may identify, American to the core.
