Edward Bunker dead

Aka Mr Blue from R Dogs though it would probably piss Eddie Bunker off for his life to be reduced to a five minute role in an early 90s heist movie. A career criminal and convict for much of his life Eddie Bunker became famous for his first novel No Beast So Fierce about a parolee trying to go straight and failing in LA, made as Straight Time starring Dustin Hoffman.
Always interesting, sometimes violent, sometimes hilarious, sometimes sad, sometimes flawed Bunker's 4 novels and his autobiography are gripping works that need to be read and remembered.
RIP Eddie!

Re: Edward Bunker dead

I wish he'd written more books.

Re: Edward Bunker dead

I only ever read No Beast So Fierce. It's a real shame that his list of publications is so short.
