From one prison to another, Edward Bunker, and already known, it is said. He does it with the raw tone and careless air that characterizes his writing. Told in first person, Education of a rogue takes us from the gloomy atmosphere of the places of detention (military schools, reformers, jails and prisons true) places the welfare of Los Angeles is always hovering between extreme wealth (it was saved on several occasions by the angel to Hollywood, "Mrs Wallis, the wife of" a large piece of cinema ") and the total delinquency its slums.
