The Graybar Hotel Author: Curtis Dawkins

ISBN: 9781786891112 Format: Hardcover Number Of Pages: 304 Published: 13 September 2017 Country of Publication: GB Dimensions (cm): 22.5 x 14.9 x 2.2 Description: A gritty, unflinching and deeply moving collection of stories by debut writer Curtis Dawkins, who is currently serving a life sentence in Michigan's prison system. His stories form a vivid portrait of prison life, painted from behind bars.

The Graybar Hotel offers a glimpse into the reality of prison life through the eyes of the people who spend their days, years and lives behind bars. A man sits collect-calling strangers every day just to hear the sounds of the outside world; an inmate recalls his descent into addiction as his prison softball team gears up for an annual tournament; a prisoner is released and finds freedom more complex and baffling than he expected.

In this stunning debut story collection, Curtis Dawkins, an arts graduate and convicted murderer, serving life without parole, gives voice to the experience of perhaps the most overlooked members of our society.
