Kenyatta's escape Book

I grabbed this from the "Urban Fiction - General" section of the Detroit Public Library thinking it was the only Donald Goines book available. My goal was get acquainted with Goines and wait out the heat of the afternoon/morning/evening. Both purposes were served by "Escape", but I probably should have chosen a more well-known Goines volume. Only after reading about half the book did I realize that about 15 other titles (including the more renowned "Dopefiend") were available on a neighboring shelf; by then it was too late to turn my back on "Escape". That said, it was explosive and violent (as expected), but skimpy on the use of scenes and encounters from everyday street life that has secured lasting admiration for Goines's other books.
