Reseña del libro "Chain-Gang All-Stars"
Welcome to Chain-Gang All-Stars - the highly popular, highly controversial profit-raising program inside America's private prison system. Harkening back to the time of gladiators, but watched by millions of live-stream subscribers, prisoners compete for the ultimate prize: their freedom.
Loretta Thurwar and Hamara 'Hurricane Staxxx' Stacker, teammates and lovers, are the fan favourites. If all goes well, Thurwar will be free in just a few matches, a fact she carries as heavily as her lethal hammer. But will the price be simply too high?
From one of American fiction's brightest stars, this is an electrifying, page-turning near-future dystopia perfect for fans of The Handmaid's Tale, Squid Game and Watchmen.
An exuberant circus of a novel, action-packed and expansive...fuelled by a sense of thrilling, righteous rage. - Xan Brooks, Guardian
Magnificent. A radical interrogation of incarceration, racism, entertainment, the whole fabric of American injustice, as well as a pure fire page turner. - Max Porter, author of SHY
Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah is one of the most exciting young writers in America. His work is urgent, engaging, wildly entertaining, formally bold and politically electrifying. Read one page, any page, and you'll see what I mean. - George Saunders, author of LINCOLN IN THE BARDO
A rumbustious satire of the criminal justice system, a book that is far more entertaining than an attempt to convince its readers of the case for prison abolition has any right to be. - David Shariatmadari, Guardian
Adjei-Brenyah is clearly a writer of substance, with something to say. - Observer
