Review:
"A grotesque, horrifying, repellent and gorgeous book; A Clockwork Orange come to life." --John Gregory Dunne "An important, perhaps prophetic, book ... both exciting and sad at the core.... [Buford is] a superbly talented reporter." --The New York Times Book Review "Brilliant ... one of the most unnerving books you will ever read." --Newsweek Like Michael Herr or Ryszard Kapuscinski, Buford has witnessed events which can only be compared in intensity to those of a war ... an unflinching look into the festering soul of England ... a fuckin' great read." --David Byrne Animated, witty, and so pungent you can taste the stale lager." --Washington Post Book World

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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 England's 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. With an Orwellian social imagination, Granta editor Buford offers a terrifying record of his passage through an alternate society--that of England's soccer thugs--in this malevolently funny, supremely chilling document of the allure of crowd violence. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780679745358
