Lifer Charlie Bronson's reputation precedes him - 'Britain's most
violent prisoner' - or does it? Do we really know the true Charlie,
or are our impressions the result of media hype? Well, what is in
no doubt is that Loonyology is 200% Bronson and will transport the
reader on the dizziest no-holds-barred roller-coaster ride of their
lives, from suspense and shock to laughter and tears, and from
Bronson the 'Solitary King' to Bronson the Philosopher, the Poet,
the Artist, the Author, the Joker, the Walking Scar and the Freedom
Fighter. Now 55 years old, and having spent most of his last 34
years as a maximum security 'Bronco Zoo' inmate, he's a much wiser
man as he looks back on his crazy journey of unpredictable
behaviour, his ever-alert mind darting from reminiscences of his
teenage years to memories of fellow-cons, the screws, the cranks,
letters and news reports, prison life and procedures, and the
overall madness ('loonyology') of the legal and penal systems,
peppering his stories with diary entries, true gems of information,
sound advice and hilarious one-liners. Together with his many
supporters and with the aid of a top lawyer, Charlie is campaigning
for the parole board to finally allow him his freedom, but begging
is not his style: he calls a spade a spade and is determined to win
with dignity, fighting with his pen and his brain to achieve his
aim of a life outside 'the cage'. In his words: "I chose to be a
villain. I'm not proud of it, nor am I ashamed of it. I have paid
my debt to society and it's time to go home."
