In The Belly of The Beast by Jack Henry Abbott with an introduction by Norman Mailer Original Edition, Printing Location: Random House New York Date: 1981 Size and Page Count: 5.5 X 8.25 Tall, 166 pages Condition: Very Good, no jacket, hardback, white lettering on spine worn or faded from age When In the Belly of the Beast was written, Jack Abbott had spent most of his life in the criminal justice system, first as a juvenile then as an adult. His well written autobiographical work tells many harrowing tales and how Abbott's life was destroyed. Very good book.Seems important to note that Abbott's version of affairs is likely very self serving and incomplete. In 1981, author Norman Mailer got Abbott out of prison mainly on the strength of Abbott's wonderful book. Shortly after his release, Abbott committed a murder. http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/710250047
