Luis J. Rodr?guez?s stunning memoir?a brave, unflinching account of life in a Los Angeles street gang ? Luis J. Rodr?guez joined his first gang at age eleven. As a teenager, he witnessed the rise of some of the most notorious cliques and sets in Southern California and knew only a life of violence?one that revolved around drugs, gang wars, and police brutality. But unlike most of those around him, Rodr?guez found a way out when art, writing, and political activism rescued him from the brink of self-destruction. ? Always Running spares no detail in its vivid, brutally honest portrayal of street life and violence, and it stands as a powerful and unforgettable testimonial of gang life, by one of the most acclaimed Chicano writers of his generation. ? This ebook features an illustrated biography of Luis J. Rodr?guez including rare images from the author?s personal collection.
