This piece of text is a memoir more than nonfiction, but I still recommend it to anyone. Always Running, by ex-gang member Luis J. Rodriguez from the San Gabriel Valley, is now a former author, critic, journalist, and children' s book author. he also has put up a multicultural center in the San Fernando Valley called Tia Chucha` s Center where the Latino community can join and have fun.
In the memoir, Luis explains his troubles as he was getting older. He would inject himself some kind of drug into himself that provoked the body to be really intoxicated and the feelings and emotions Luis felt afterward. It also shows how rough the gang members are between each other. The title itself implies that gang members are always running from police and the law.
