The story of T-Bird Murphy, born in the tumultuous 1960s and raised in the ghettoes of Oakland by his mother, who rides with the Hell's Angels, his father, who is an ex-convict, and the father figures who range from musicians to construction workers, <em>East Bay Grease</em> is a novel of dignity, honor, and courage that has been compared to the works of John Steinbeck, Jack London, and Upton Sinclair.<br /> <br /> Praise for EAST BAY GREASE: <br /> <br /> "Williamson's writing becomes transcendent. His prose cuts loose in torrid rhythms that evoke the peril and exuberance of jazz." --<em>The New York Times Book Review</em><br /> <br /> "A confident debut, an arresting, often harrowing read." --<em>The London Times</em></p>
