Detailní informace

1978 and two14-year-old white
boys are creating dubious art by using
a hacksaw to cut multiple quarters into
pieces. A child who's just bought ice cream
from a Mr. Softee truck witnesses a daylight
sidewalk shooting in 1979. At another time,
a couple of blocks over, a kid gets caught
trying to shoplift an adult magazine from
a Puerto Rican hole-in-the-wall. A Black
teenager and his white friends square up
to a rival Italian gang over the right to play
hockey in the street. In 1977 a white k...id
craters a baseball right in the centre of a
Cuban guy's windscreen. And so it goes. On the streets of Brooklyn, the faces of the
children change but the patterns remain
the same: sex; boredom; friendship;
violence; a million daily crimes committed,
some small, some unimaginably big.
But the real action is away from the
streets, played out behind closed doors
by parents; cops; renovators; landlords;
gentirifers; those who write the headlines,
the histories, and the laws; those who
award this neighbourhood its name and
control its shifting demographics. Across
the decades, buildings are developed and
homes are razed; communities come in
and muscle other communities out; the
past haunts the present and perspectives
change, so that perpetrators sometimes
become victims, and victims sometimes
become the worst criminals of all...
Written with kaleidoscopic verve and
delirious wit, Brooklyn Crime Novel is a
breathtaking tour de force of a quarter
of a city and the humanity it contains, and
an epic interrogation of how we fashion
stories to contain the uncontainable: our
remorse at the world we've madeVíce...
