This is a great, great book. And Alice Goffman is a really fascinating woman.
She takes the wrong lessons from her time with the black underclass, but she's a leftist. I'm just blown away at how she could immerse herself so fully in the culture.
In any case, more later.
At Amazon, On the Run: Fugitive Life in an American City.
Meanwhile, when you have time, grab a beer and read the New York Times piece on Goffman, "The Trials of Alice Goffman."
