I'm not talking about autobiographies. The Contender or The Brave has to be the best. The Brave is the sequal to The Contender

Robert Lipsyte has to be one of my favorite authors

Ya gotta read The Professional, by W.C. Heinz:

Here it is at Amazon:

Just don't read the foreward by Elmore Leonard first. Apparently it gives away the whole story.
