Non-Fiction Memoir
While Felicia is a brilliant actor in a truly chilling role,
what's most remarkable about "Snoop" is what she has
overcome in her life. Snoop was born a three-pound
cross-eyed crack baby in East Baltimore. Those streets are
among the toughest in the world, but Snoop was tougher. The
runt of the ghetto showed an early aptitude for drug
slinging and violence and thrived as a baby gangsta until
she landed in Jessup state penitentiary after killing a
woman in self-defense. There she rebelled violently against
the system, and it was only through the cosmic intervention
of her mentor, Uncle Loney, that she turned her life around.
A couple of years ago, Snoop was discovered in a nightclub
by one of The Wire's cast members and quickly recruited to
be one of television's most frightening and intriguing villians. While the story of coming up from the hood has been told by
Antwone Fisher and Chris Gardner, among others, Snoop's tale
goes far deeper into The Life than any previous books. And
like Mary Karr's story, Snoop's is a woman's story from a
fresh point of view. She defied traditional conventions of
gender and sexual preference on the hardest streets in
America and she continues to do so in front of millions of
viewers on TV.
