October 13, 2007 by Daniel · Leave a Comment
Addict, Thief, Pimp, Pusher, Player…and Writer! Donald Goines was all of these things. He started as a kid, the product of a middle-class family. After high school, he joined the Navy, and discovered the heroin that would rule the remainder of his life. On the streets, he turned to writing when he was straight enough to keep at it. He used the language of the streets and wrote of the streets and its people. His success was immediate and exciting. But eventually the streets claimed him. He was murdered as he sat writing a new book. Here for the first time is his complete story.
