My cousin and I walked up and down Jamaica ave in Queens selling "Sabu Hall" the book that told many truths. Street hustling with literature rather than other things. I wrote he rapped along the way. We made a few pennies but it kept the dreams alive. The Green Gorilla is a master work that covers every human emotion I could think of and have lived through and is the first three books in the Sabu Hall series. Culminating in the life of Sabu Hall who was the example of a perfect man. Daddy Sugar was an indictment of men that have allowed and were taken advantage of by women who never loved them. Men that were the exact opposite of Sabu Hall. My cousin and I were as hardcore as any two that had blood between us could be. I still pray for his dreams and write to keep mine alive. I consider these books born and sustained by hunger and the gift of family that sustains us. William Charles Baker "The Hustler"
