Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. Bruce Davidson (jacket photograph) and James Ferry (illustrator). [10], 118 pages. Inscribed by the author on the fep. Inscription reads To my good friend, Nick at Christmas 1986 Jack Farrell. Prisoners discuss their psychological problems, jail life, violence, murder, robbery, survival, and self-image. In his introduction, Farrell, who works at an unidentified maximum-security prison on the East Coast, discusses the inmates' insecurities about masculinity, and considers the roots and punishment of crime with compassion, but without sentimentality. The verse arrangement of the anecdotes is effective, making this a sort of prison Spoon River Anthology. These reflections by male inmates, recorded by a prison psychologist, are brief, sometimes only a few lines, but they offer profound insights into the realities of prison life. Some of the inmates are still bewildered that they gave up good opportunities and turned to crime; some fear that they may really like being in prison; others hope they will never return after being released, although they have not kept that vow in the past. Some come from families that abused or neglected them, and others had their every whim indulged. The vast majority are terrified at being thought homosexual, and even some who practice homosexuality, have developed rationalizations that permit them to consider themselves "straight."

Original signierte Zeichnung von André Girard von ca. 1940. Auf Papier montiert. -- Maße: ca. 28,5 x 25,5 cm. -- gut erhalten. || Original drawing signed by André Girard, from c. 1940. Mounted on paper. -- in good condition. || Dessin original d'André Girard de c. 1940.|| André Girard (1901-1968) was a French painter, poster-maker, and Resistance worker known for founding and leading the CARTE network a French Resistance network during WWII. Born in Chinon, Girard studied at the École des Beaux-Arts and served in the military before pursuing a career as a painter, caricaturist, and theatre set designer. He gained recognition as a prominent poster designer during the 1930s in Paris. He produced, among others, advertising posters for Duco (1928-29), Peugeot (1930), Mercier Frères (1930), Gitanes cigarettes (1930), Marconi (1935) Dubonnet, The Capehart, Shell.He travelled to France and throughout Europe, and fell under the spell of Venice. In 1937, he embarked for New York and his career as a painter took off. In 1938, he exhibited at the Sullivan Gallery on Park Avenue. As soon as Hitler came to power in Germany, he published numerous political cartoons in the press, Les Échos, Paris-Midi, Paris-Soir, Match, Marianne, Le Rire16. These were published in 2005 under the title Hitler, Stalin et compagne. Dessins politiques de 1934 a 1942 with a preface by Daniele Delorme. Many of his drawings from that time resemble the style of German-American artist George Grosz (1893-1959). During the war, Girard married Andrée Jouan and had four daughters. Refusing to witness the German occupation of Paris, he relocated to the Antibes, where he painted his daughters and established the CARTE network. Although initially apolitical, Girard became involved in recruiting and espionage activities, preparing for an armed uprising against the Germans. Following SOE orders, he flew to England in February 1942 and subsequently went into self-imposed exile in the United States of America. Despite learning about his wife's arrest and deportation to the Ravensbrück concentration camp (she was released in 1945), Girard broke ties with SOE. In post-war New York, Girard produced religious paintings, such as the Stations of the Cross and Apocalypse. In 1952, he decorated churches in New York, Vermont, and California. In 1947, he published the work entitled "Peut-on dire la vérité sur la Résistance," offering important corrections to Bénouville's book "Le Sacrifice du matin." Girard passed away in the United States in 1968 and was buried there. He received the American Legion of Merit in recognition of his contributions. || André Girard (1901-1968) était un peintre, affichiste et résistant français connu pour avoir fondé et dirigé le réseau CARTE - un réseau de la Résistance française pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Né à Chinon, Girard étudie à l'École des Beaux-Arts et sert dans l'armée avant de poursuivre une carrière de peintre, caricaturiste et décorateur de théâtre. Il est reconnu comme un affichiste de premier plan dans les années 1930 à Paris. Il réalise, entre autres, des affiches publicitaires pour Duco (1928-29), Peugeot (1930), Mercier Frères (1930), Gitanes cigarettes (1930), Marconi (1935) Dubonnet, La Capehart, Shell. Il voyage en France et dans toute l'Europe, et tombe sous le charme de Venise. En 1937, il embarque pour New York et sa carrière de peintre décolle. En 1938, il expose à la Sullivan Gallery sur Park Avenue. Dès l'arrivée au pouvoir d'Hitler en Allemagne, il publie de nombreuses caricatures politiques dans la presse, "Les Échos", "Paris-Midi", "Paris-Soir", "Match", "Marianne", "Le Rire16". Celles-ci ont été publiées en 2005 sous le titre Hitler, Staline et compagnie. Dessins politiques de 1934 à 1942 », préfacé par Danièle Delorme. Beaucoup de ses dessins de cette époque ressemblent au style de l'artiste germano-américain George Grosz (1893-1959). Pendant la guerre, Girard épouse Andrée Jouan et a quatre filles. Refusant d'assister à l'occupation allemande de Paris, il s'installe à Antibes, où il peint ses filles et fonde le réseau CARTE. Bien qu'initialement apolitique, Girard s'est impliqué dans des activités de recrutement et d'espionnage, préparant un soulèvement armé contre les Allemands. Suite aux ordres du SOE, il s'est envolé pour l'Angleterre en février 1942 et s'est ensuite exilé aux États-Unis d'Amérique. Bien qu'il ait appris l'arrestation et la déportation de sa femme vers le camp de concentration de Ravensbrück (elle a été libérée en 1945), Girard a rompu les liens avec le SOE. Dans le New York d'après-guerre, Girard a produit des peintures religieuses, telles que le chemin de croix et l'Apocalypse. En 1952, il décore des églises à New York, au Vermont et en Californie. En 1947, il publie l'ouvrage intitulé "Peut-on dire la vérité sur la Résistance", apportant d'importantes corrections au livre de Bénouville "Le Sacrifice du matin". Girard est décédé aux États-Unis en 1968 et y a été enterré. Il a reçu la Légion américaine du mérite en reconnaissance de ses contributions. || André Girard (19011968) war ein französischer Maler, Plakatmacher und Widerstandskämpfer, der für die Gründung und Leitung des CARTE-Netzwerks eines französischen Widerstandsnetzwerks während des Zweiten Weltkriegs bekannt war.
