Among the Thugs by Bill Buford (English) Paperback Book

Description: Among the Thugs by Bill Buford Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description With an Orwellian social imagination, Granta editor Buford offers a terrifying record of his passage through an alternate society--that of Englands soccer thugs--in this malevolently funny, supremely chilling document of the allure of crowd violence. Publisher Description They have names like Barmy Bernie, Daft Donald, and Steamin Sammy. They like lager (in huge quantities), the Queen, football clubs (especially Manchester United), and themselves. Their dislike encompasses the rest of the known universe, and Englands soccer thugs express it in ways that range from mere vandalism to riots that terrorize entire cities. Now Bill Buford, editor of the prestigious journal Granta, enters this alternate society and records both its savageries and its sinister allure with the social imagination of a George Orwell and the raw personal engagement of a Hunter Thompson. Author Biography Bill Buford is a staff writer and the European correspondent for The New Yorker. He was the fiction editor of the magazine for eight years, from April 1995 to December 2002.
