Hole in My Life

(1) YA Gantos begins this affectingly candid self-examination with a mug shot taken in 1972, after he'd already spent a year in jail for smuggling drugs. A good portion of the memoir takes place before his incarceration, when he was a teenager adrift, desperate to become a writer but sure he had no material. Without glamorizing his criminal past, Gantos shows how prison made him realize he had had plenty to say all along.
