He's a solid writer. Worked in abuse and neglect therapy in Oakland for years and saw some pretty heavy shit. Alot of those stories make it into his work (which is actually pretty funny, but can also be heart breaking). If you ever get a chance to hear him speak, do it. He's an amazing speaker and storyteller. He's also a fierce, fierce free speech advocate. His books tend to get banned a lot, so he does a lot of advocacy work on behalf of banned books.
