I'm unreasonably pleased that this, the Least Desirable Book Of All, bas been sitting in the little free library near me for months now.

The scene shows two actors in an intimate moment in what appears to be a library or study, with rows of books visible on shelves in the background.

What had saved Charles Dutton was prison.
He dropped out of school at 12 and pleaded guilty to manslaughter at 17, after stabbing a black man who had pulled a knife on him in a fight.
