Dustjacket. 390pp. Very light wear to extremities and spine ends, a little flakiness to the spine gilt as is often seen with this book, clean and strong; internally clean, signed…by Seth Morgan to front flyleaf; in a bright, sharp dustjacket with some very light wear. A near fine, signed copy. Signed copies of Morgan's breakout jailhouse novel are scarce, he held one signing in New Orleans at the time of publication, and then a few months later was dead, along with his girlfriend, in a motorcycle crash. "Homeboy" has to rate up alongside "The Animal Factory" and "No Beast So Fierce" as one of the grittiest modern prison novels. Mostly autobiographical in content; Morgan was a petty thief, heroin addict and hustler, who at the time of her death was in a relationship with Janis Joplin, having met her whilst delivering drugs to a party at her home. Maintaining his addiction through street jobs and small time crime, Morgan was a strip club Barker, a cook, a pimp and a number of other occupations until he was arrested for armed robbery and imprisoned for 3 years. More petty crime, and heavy drinking and drug use followed, until 1986 when Morgan skipped San Francisco for New Orleans with the intention of drinking himsef to death but found himself writing "Homeboy" instead. One of the strangest pieces of information about Morgan is that he was a son of the Morgan soap manufacturing fortune and had grown up in rather privileged environments, attending private schools and laboring under the disapproval of his extremely alcoholic mother from whom, he later suggested, he developed his abusive lack of respect for women.
