Darkly funny memoir blends prison survival, absurdist humor, and an unexpected love story spanning three generations.
NEW YORK - eMusicWire -- ROSA MEI's Crooked Soldiers: A Prison Survival Guide, now #1 Best New Release in Cultural, Ethnic & Regional Humor on Amazon, delivers a darkly comedic take on prison survival and absurdist humor.
Set in 2003 at New York's MCC jail, nicknamed the "Guantanamo of the East," the book follows two unlikely cellmates: Mike, a mantis kung fu master and grandson of an Italian mafia foot soldier, and Bunky, the son of Dominican drug dealers. Together, they navigate prison life satire, secret codes, and unexpected alliances while providing readers a unique cultural humor experience.
Locked up for insider trading, Mike is dared to write to his love, Mudge, every day for eight months. The resulting memoir in collage combines prison survival tips, absurdist humor, and a funny love story — including black Noxzema ghosts, wolf sightings, ashes scattered across four countries, and survival strategies on 12¢ an hour.
