Book excerpt: Finally, the story that no one would write has been written. The 9th Street Chronicles, by writer William Self, was five years in the making. This remarkable book 'drops salt', i.e. knowledge to the point of understanding, because it is a story about all of us, black, brown and white, male and female, rich and poor, shameless and honorable, making it and faking it. The 9th Street Chronicles draws attention to the many unspoken truths about this infamous 'block', the lives that depended on it, the politics and the cabal that controlled it, and the power that brought it down. Violence, courage, sex for sale, gambling, and murder are intertwined in this story of greed, fear, money and power, laid bare in the riveting accounts by the shakers, makers and players themselves. 9th Street Chronicles draws attention to The Block and the effects it has had on the town, its citizens, the economy, and the United States Army.We see the best and the worst of ourselves then and now. It is rare when the underbelly of a town or city is revealed in such a forthright manner.

Book excerpt: In January 1929, in a grimy, working-class neighborhood on the south bank of the Thames, Eileen Gwynneth Yvonne Redfern was born. From her inauspicious beginning as the unwelcome third occupant of Old Ma Tanners one-room apartment on Coin Street to an eighteen-year-old on the brink of university life, author Gwen Southgate weaves a fascinating story of a vanished time and a way of life on Londons old south bank. In this memoir, telling tales of the 1930s and 1940s, Gwen provides a glimpse into a broader tapestry portraying the sweep of life in Britain as seen through the eyes of a young girl. Among its many colorful and lively characters are the big-hearted, chain-smoking Aunt-mum; yarn-spinning, practical joker Grampa Benson; and Gwens feisty, much-married mother. After a wartime evacuation from London opens wider horizons, Gwen shares how she managed to survive in a world where the mere stealing of a spoonful of rice pudding could lead to dire consequences and even the enjoyment of a Sunday walk was condemned as sinful. Coin Street Chronicles paints a vivid and captivating portrait of Britain and her people before, during, and after World War II.
