I'd recommend Nathan Heard's Howard Street, about which I wrote (shortly after he died in 2004):
Nathan Heard died March 16. His Howard Street is an amazing book, better than anything I've read by Iceberg Slim. Perhaps the best description I've seen of it was in Forced Exposure (by Byron Coley, probably), that it was as if Hubert Selby Jr had written a book for Holloway House.

> This group has steered me to some great "lost classics" such as CANDYLEG by Ovid Demaris and DEVIL IN DUNGAREES by Albert Conroy. Do you have any other suggestions? You may wish to reply privately if everyone else on here already knows about the books. Thanks! Best regards. Tim Lockhart
