Book ID/图书代码： 03540015B82322

English Summary/英文概要： Gary Younge is a hugely respect Guardian journalist, whose latest non-fiction project, A DAY IN THE DEATH OF AMERICA, is the subject of a fierce auction in the UK. (So far, five publishers are bidding). It’s a story with emotional power and narrative insight as Younge recounts 24 hours in the lives of juvenile victims of gun crime. It’s impossible not to be moved by the portrayal of the kids and their families, but it’s also a thoughtful, at times provocative, examination of the social and political context of these deaths and in turn a commentary on the state of 21st Century America.
