Présentation The Long Shadow Of Small Ghosts de Laura Tillman Format Broché
- Livre
Résumé : 'This remarkable book is built of diligent reporting and sensitive reckoning; its questions haunted me long after I finished reading it' Leslie Jamison, author of The Empathy Exams On 11 March, 2003, in Brownsville, Texas - one of America's poorest cities - John Allen Rubio and Angela Camacho murdered their three young children. The apartment building in which the brutal crimes took place was already rundown, and in their aftermath a consensus developed in the community that it should be destroyed. In 2008, journalist Laura Tillman covered the story. Her investigation sprawled into a six-year inquiry into the larger significance of such acts, ones so difficult to imagine or explain that their perpetrators are often dismissed as monsters alien to humanity. In The Long Shadow of Small Ghosts, Tillman speaks to lawyers, relatives, neighbours, and even one of the murderers: John Allen Rubio himself. The result is a brilliant exploration of some of our age's most important social issues, from poverty to mental illness to the death penalty, and a profound meditation on the truly human forces that drive them.
