Bunker's best book by far is 'Little Boy Blue' . I urge you
to grab a copy. Bunker does something very unusual in that
novel. The main character is violent boy who does some
horrible things but he stills comes off as sympathetic.
Bunker is the only the ex-con I have come across ( I have not
meet him personally ) who doesn't make excuses for what he
was. That alone may him very refreshing. Finally Haut books
'Pulp Culture' identifies Senator McCarthy as 'the senator
from Minnesota' on the first page no less. I had no faith in
the points that his various essays may have contained given
he didn't know the state Tail Gunner Joe represented. I put
the book down, and waiting for real lull in my life before I
pick it up again.
