β¦ Synopsis
Hemingway said, βA man should never write what he doesnβt know.β In the midβfifties, Harlan Ellisonβkicked out of college and hungry to writeβwent to New York to start his career. It was a time of street gangs, rumbles, kids with switchblades, and zip guns made from car radio antennas. Ellison was barely out of his teens himself, but he took a phony name, moved into Brooklynβs dangerous Red Hook section, and managed to con his way into a βbopping club.β What he experienced (and the time he spent in jail as a result) was the basis for the violent story that Alfred Hitchcock filmed as the first of his hourβlong TV dramas. This autobiography is a book whose message you will not be able to ignore or forget.
