In 1997 Mark Salzman, bestselling author Iron and Silk and Lying
Awake, paid a reluctant visit to a writing class at L.A.'s Central
Juvenile Hall, a lockup for violent teenage offenders, many of them
charged with murder. What he found so moved and astonished him that
he began to teach there regularly. In voices of indelible emotional
presence, the boys write about what led them to crime and about the
lives that stretch ahead of them behind bars. We see them coming to
terms with their crime-ridden pasts and searching for a reason to
believe in their future selves. Insightful, comic, honest and
tragic, True Notebooks is an object lesson in the redemptive power
of writing.
