Synopsis
Propelled by indiscernible imperatives, Miami native William Van Poyck has spent four decades...from barefoot youth to seasoned convict...navigating the parlous back roads of America's criminal justice system, trekking the arc from Youth Hall and reform schools to prisons and death row. After authoring two previous novels and a short story collection, Van Poyck...car thief, burglar, escape artist, bank robber...now sets down his sweeping autobiography, a vividly sketched odyssey through an unraveling life seemingly beyond reconciliation, inexorably fading away like a flashing heliograph winking out in the setting sun. A broad portrait of the human condition, by turns grim, poignant, inspiring, brutal and humorous, yet always compelling, this is a no-holds-barred, eye-opening tale of human fallibility and the triumph of hope over expectations. An unforgettable story cutting close to the bone, this riveting saga provides an authentic look, projected through the lens of raw experience, into a hardscrabble, mostly unseen world of which much is written but little is understood.
