Donald Goines

    15. december 1936 – 21. október 1974

    Donald Goines bol jedným z najplodnejších autorov pouličnej literatúry, ktorého drsné a surové diela zachytávali realitu života v amerických getách. Jeho romány, často zasadené do Detroitu, Los Angeles alebo New Yorku, prenikavo skúmali témy ako drogy, zločin a rasové napätie. Goines majstrovsky používal napätý jazyk a rýchle tempo, aby vytvoril pútavé príbehy, ktoré odrážali jeho vlastné skúsenosti. Prostredníctvom svojej tvorby, často písanej pod pseudonymom Al C. Clark, ponúkol víziu vnútorného mesta ako bojiska, kde postavy bojujú o moc a prežitie.

      For twenty-three years of his life Donald Goines lived in the dark, despair-ridden world of the junkie. It started while he was doing military service in Korea and ended with his murder at the age of thirty nine. He had worked up to a hundred dollars a day habit and out of the agonizing hell came Dopefiend. It is the shocking nightmare story of a black heroin addict. Trapped in the festering sore of a major American ghetto, a young man and his girlfriend- both handsome, talented, and full of promise- are inexorably pulled into death of the hardcore junkie!
