Thrill-seeking white teenager Jimmy Monroe is serving a twenty-year sentence for robbery. The penitentiary is a place where terror and chaos reign, where corrupt guards inflict casual and insidious violence, where men isolated from the outside world must preserve their dignity and find fulfilment through years of boredom and uncertainty. When a fire breaks out, setting hell and mayhem loose, it seems as though Jimmy's entire world is unravelling. But, in the aftermath, as he develops a tender relationship with fellow convict Rico, hope begins to glimmer, and his eventual foray into writing channels the confusion of his experience into something finally resembling redemption.

Originally published in 1952, in an expurgated version, as Cast the First Stone, this unsparing, intense yet affirming novel draws on Chester Himes' own life - including his youthful imprisonment, his path to writing and his experience of the devastating Ohio Penitentiary fire in 1930. Yesterday Will Make You Cry faces down the scouring truths of harm and love, and demonstrates the astonishing lyric range of Himes' prose.
