Howard Street, originally published in 1968, is the searingly powerful novel written inside of Trenton State Prison and based on first-hand Newark street experiences of one of the most accomplished black American writers. Howard Street is a best seller, having sold over a million copies.

Howard Street provides a shocking insight into the lives of prostitutes, johns, pushers, drug addicts and other lost souls who have never known any other way of life. What many have coined a literary masterpiece, is a paradoxical story of triumph and tragedy, hope and hopelessness that many face living on or near Howard Street.
