Krátky popis
'A stark depiction of the “alligator pond” of prison life … Rage
tempered with compassion … [its] emotional core continues to
smoulder’ The New York Times Book ReviewThrill-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 Cast the First Stone, Yesterday Will Make
You Cry draws on Chester Himes’s own youthful experiences of
imprisonment to face down the scouring truths of harm and love.
‘Himes at the top of his game … what an amazing book it is’ Melvin
Van Peebles
