INSCRIBED briefly and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper. "Prominent L.A. criminal defense attorney Kenny Kahn has written a poignant memoir of his twisted childhood in the East Los Angeles housing projects, and the training by his substance-abusing parents to be a carnival hustler. As the only Jewish family in the Ramona Gardens housing projects, [the author] tells the spellbinding story of being the oldest child of two small-time carnival thieves who make their living as traveling gypsies and then graduate to dealing heroin from their cockroach infested apartment in the projects."
