<<There was a piece by JCO in last Saturday's Guardian. [I don't think
the Guardian weekly and Guardian Internation Edition carry all the
'filler' stuff that the UK edition has]. It was re-printed from
Granta--a rather pretentious UK 'literary magazine'.>>

I remember this Granta article. It's called _After Amnesia_. It started
out theoretical (reflections on identity and such), but turned out to be
an interesting description of her reactions to what she saw inside the
prison.

On the topic of prisons, which hardboiled authors besides Chester Himes
and E. Richard Johnson were in prison for a long time? In Johnson's
case, he actually wrote all his novels while in prison. I don't know
that he ever got out.
