In 1937, Chester Himes, newly released from a seven-year stretch in the Ohio State Penitentiary, finished his first novel, "Yesterday Will Make You Cry", the autobiographical story of young Jimmy Monroe's passage through the prison system. Even after it was bowdlerized, the work was recognized as a sardonic masterpiece of debasement and transfiguration. Now this classic is available in a new edition, complete and unexpurgated, with its raw honesty and startling compassion entirely intact.

This book was awesome, I cry not only for yesterday, but today!! You have to read it from the beginning and keep reminding yourself what the title says, it goes beyond the hip hop,urban street,hard core books it tells a beautiful story,it's life education in itself.U have to understand, this book goes beyond racism,and prison life,it tells a story which goes deep in everyone heart and soul,because everyone have or will have some thoughts & feelings of this story. I cried almost all the way thru the book, this character went thru alot. Sometimes, u never know what u will do thru life struggles, so were no better than the next person, but thru it all sooner or later we go thru struggles and we all cry for yesterday and today. ?
