About this book
Goines's debut, written from a prison cell. Whoreson Jones is raised by his prostitute mother on the streets of Detroit and grows up to run the same game that raised him.
Reviewers credit it as the novel that launched the entire Black street-lit genre — raw, autobiographical, and impossible to put down.
