	Born Under A Bad Sign - The Life of Edward Bunker
		Bunker, who had a voracious appetite for reading books since a child, spent much of his time acquainting himself with the contents of the prison library, accruing, as a result, a vast and encyclopaedic knowledge.
		Within a couple of years, Bunker found himself back on the inside again, having been found consorting with known felons (he happened to be travelling in a car owned by two burglars who had their tools in the boot of the vehicle).
		In 1979, Bunker claimed that he found true salvation in an attractive young lawyer, Jennifer, whom he married (despite a difference in age and background they are still together and have a young son, Brendan, born in 1994).

	FLUXEUROPA: EDWARD BUNKER
		EDWARD BUNKER will be best known to most people for his cameo part as Mr Blue in Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs, but he was a real gangster and is now a successful author.
		But Bunker also honestly describes the enjoyable aspects of being a career criminal: no nine-to-five tread-mill, and the feeling of power (admittedly short and often sordid) felt over the everyday world the criminal lives and feeds amongst and on.
		Bunker has an excellent natural style and the book is very hard to put down.

		Bunker's plot bears some resemblance to those of his earlier novels (No Beast So Fierce; Animal Factory), but his storytelling is once again first-rate as the botched kidnapping leads to a series of violent confrontations that produce a dark but satisfying ending.
		What distinguishes Bunker from other crime writers is his ability to convey the compassion dormant within his violent criminals without resorting to excess luridness, sympathy or moralism.
		Edward Bunker is the real deal when it comes to crime writers, having served hard time in the California penal system, and it shows in this bleak work.

		Bunker might not master the language as well as seaseoned crime-fiction writers, but this adds to the authenticity of the book too, making it seem more "there", while it leads us towards the ending.
		Bunker knows the hell of cocaine addiction, he knows the desperation that drives men to commit robbery, he knows the allure of the criminal life, he knows there is no true "honor" among thieves.
		It's not surprising that Bunker is a reformed ex-criminal.

		Bunker's fractured odyssey starts out with teenagers Troy Cameron, Gerald "Mad Dog" McCain, and Charlie "Diesel" Carson in reform school, establishing roots in their chosen profession of crime.
		Regrettably, Bunker renders dialogue as mind-numbing as the non-story, and can't seem to figure out whether he wants us to like, feel sorry for, or despise his three stooges of crime.
		But even this could be passable were it not for Bunker's feeble attempt at making excuses for his thugs, who he casts as the victims - victims of parental neglect and jack-booted oppression under the guise of "three strike" laws - for in Bunker's world, the bad guys are misunderstood and the cops are sadists.

		It is a pleasant change of pace that Bunker does not even pretend that they want to go straight; they are career criminals with little thought of doing anything else.
