Inspiring prisoners and adult learners to read, using a mafia insider
Brutal, gritty, but often hilarious, ‘Tough Guy’ is former mafia insider Louis Ferrante’s candid true story of his criminal exploits on the streets of New York, his incarceration in some of America’s toughest prisons and how, after reading his first book, he turned his life around.
Transworld publishers were very keen to bring the relatively unknown author to the UK for a week-long tour in libraries, prisons and interviews with the media.
Through the Reading Partners project – a partnership consortium, led by The Reading Agency, which aims to transform the way public libraries and adult publishers work together – nine author events were brokered.
