A CRIMINAL?

FREDDIE GREENFIELD

Fag Rag Books Boston, 1989

special thanks to George Dimsey for editing and helping make most of the selections for this book and

no less appreciative thanks to Fag Rag staff, Charley Shively, Siong Huat Chua and Mike Riegle for the nitty gritty aspect, typesetting, layout, proofreading and of course their sharply attuned collective ear to my particular sound. Added thanks to Bruce McLay for technical assistance. Siong Huat and Chris Pomiecko formatted and laid out the pages.
