Details
Written with unflinching honesty and insight, BEGGARS OF LIFE follows Tully from his first ride at age 13, choosing life on the road over a deadening job, through his teenage years of learning the ropes of the rails and living one meal to the next.
Tully's direct, confrontational approach helped shape the hard-boiled school of writing, and later immeasurably influenced the noir genre. BEGGARS OF LIFE was the first in Tully's 5 volume memoir, dubbed the 'Underworld Edition,' recalling his transformation from road-kid to novelist, journalist, Hollywood columnist, chain maker, boxer, circus handyman, and tree surgeon.
