Book title for On my skin from last night You got nothin Coming(notes from a prison fish) by Jimmy learner-an extraordinary Book....funny..dark..violent..terrible...but with an enormous sense of humanity within the prison structure...beautifully written....He is a jew and they place him in the cell with a neo-nazi...its screamingly funny.,.and the neo-nazi turns out to be a Miracle....beautiful....BUY THIS BOOK.. Bringing us into a world of petty corruption, racial strife, and crank-addicted neo-Nazis, Jimmy Lerner gives us a fish’s progress: a brash, compelling, and darkly comic story peopled with characters who are at various times funny, violent, and surprisingly tender. His rendering of prison language is mesmerizingly vivid and exact, and his search for a way not simply to survive but to craft a new way to live, in the most unpropitious of circumstances, is a tale filled with resilience, dignity, and a profound sense of the absurd. In the book’s climax, we learn just what demonic set of circumstances–a compound of bad luck and worse judgment–led him to the lethal act of self-defense that landed him in a circle of an American hell.
