The author, Jack Henry Abbott, is now serving a fifteen-years-to-life sentence for the 1981 stabbing of Richard Adan, a young night manager of the Binibon Cafe on Manhattan's Lower East Side. Except for a short-lived escape from prison in 1971, Abbott had been incarcerated in one institution or another since he was thirteen years old. His parole placed him in another potentially violent environment, but one that had a completely different set of rules. He has consistently maintained that he thought Richard Adan was carrying a knife and that his attack on Adan was the result of that perception. "My Return" is Jack Abbott's and Naomi Zack's story of the death of Richard Adan, the ensuing trial, and Abbott's return to prison.It is comprised of "The Death of Tragedy", a play based on the actual court records; an illustrated appendix giving stage directions and the background of the issues and people involved; and "Men of Letters", a collection of Abbott's essays on a variety of topics - religious, philosophical, historical, and literary - including an autobiographical account of his tragic life.

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. Texte francais, Couverture souple. État d'usage: très bon état. Incarcéré dès 1956, à l'âge de 12 ans, Jack Henry Abbott est ce qu'on appelle un « multirécidiviste ». Né d'une mère prostituée, il est abandonné par ses parents lorsqu'il a neuf ans. À vingt et un ans, il tue un codétenu à l'arme blanche. Six ans plus tard, il s'évade pour commettre des vols à main armée. Arrêté à nouveau, Abbott écope d'une peine de dix-neuf ans de réclusion. En 1977, le détenu rebelle apprend que Norman Mailer écrit « Le chant du bourreau » consacré au meurtrier Gary Gilmore qu'Abbott connaît bien. Leur correspondance sur la vie en prison débouche sur le livre « Dans le ventre de la bête ». Grâce à un comité de soutien dirigé par Norman Mailer, l'écrivain Jerzy Kosinski et l'actrice Susan Saradon, Jack Henry Abbott obtient sa libération conditionnelle en juin 1981. Six semaines plus tard, Jack Abbott assassine un serveur de restaurant à New York. Condamné à perpétuité, il se suicide par pendaison en 2002. Les lettres rassemblées du Ventre de la bête dessinent l'Odyssée d'un enchaîné de Quartier Haute Sécurité américain dans une langue jusqu'ici inconnue : le cri de la bête en cage. Book.
