Ron Decker, joven de buena familia, acaba con sus huesos en la temible prisión de San Quintín tras su primera detención por «vender droga como si tuviese licencia». Allí, en la fábrica de animales, donde los conflictos raciales y las peleas entre bandas están al orden del día, el novato Ron aprenderá muy pronto que para sobrevivir hay que estar dispuesto a todo. Su maestro en el infierno carcelario será Earl Coppen, uno de los tipos más duros y respetados de San Quintín, con quien el joven Decker entablará una improbable amistad forjada en largas conversaciones ajenas a la jerga carcelaria habitual. Välskrivet och nedtonat. En mycket trovärdig beskrivning av vardagen i en brutal verklighet. Kampen om sin inre frihet och mot ett system som bit för bit bryter ner en persons värdighet och moraliska ramar. Inte lika bra som debuten Pojkpokerblues men en riktigt bra bok som är svår att lägga ifrån sig.

The Animal Factory is a very interesting novel. It tells very vividly about life in one of America's toughest prisons, San Quentin. The reason behind the realistic storytelling is probably the writer's first-hand experience of spending over 25 years in prison. Bunker is a very good writer. His vocabulary is wide and his style compelling. His wordplay is so eloquent, that it sometimes seems out of place in the prison milieu. Bunker's text is a pleasure to read. The only gripe I have is that he doesn't seem to know who his main character is. The story starts telling about the sentence of a young and handsome drug trafficker into San Quentin, but soon shifts its focus to Earl, an older convict. I guess this mirrors Bunker's own experiences. But the two main characters are both very interesting, so it doesn't disturb the reading experience much. Very much recommended for anyone interested about life in prison, or about how violence might be born from society's abuse. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"The Animal Factory" goes deep into San Quentin, a world of violence and paranoia, where territory and status are ever-changing and possibly fatal commodities. Ron Decker is a newbie, a drug dealer whose shot at a short two-year stint in the can is threatened from inside and outside. He's got to keep a spotless record or it's ten to life. But at San Quentin, no man can steer clear of the Brotherhoods, the race wars, the relentlessness. It soon becomes clear that some inmates are more equal than others; Earl Copen is one of them, an old-timer who has learned not just to survive but to thrive behind bars. Not much can surprise him-but the bond he forms with Ron startles them both; it's a true education of a felon. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
