Kill All Enemies

Everyone says fourteen-year-old BILLIE is nothing but trouble. A fighter. A danger to her family and friends. But her care worker sees someone different. Her classmate ROB is big, strong; he can take care of himself and his brother. But his violent stepdad sees someone to humiliate. And CHRIS is struggling at school; he just doesn't want to be there. But his dad sees a useless no-hoper. Billie, Rob and Chris each have a story to tell. But there are two sides to every story, and the question is . . . who do you believe?

Cosa succede se non hai altro se non la tua rabbia a cui attaccarti per sopravvivere? E se il mondo che ti è intorno sembra frantumarsi a ogni passo? Billie sa di non avere più possibilità. Non può più farsi trovare in una rissa, a picchiare chiunque la provochi. Verrebbe cacciata dall'ennesima famiglia affidataria e dall'ennesima scuola. Invece ci ricasca. Chris da quattro anni si rifiuta sistematicamente di studiare, eppure è intelligente e sveglio. I professori non lo sopportano più e all'ennesima provocazione lo sbattono fuori. Rob è considerato un violento, ma in realtà è il più indifeso di tutti, e sembra impossibile che riesca a uscire dall'ennesimo guaio in cui si è cacciato. Tutti, là fuori, saprebbero raccontare la loro storia, infarcendola di bugie, però Billie, Chris e Rob non l'hanno mai veramente raccontata a nessuno. Ma la musica migliore viene quando sei costretto a improvvisare, e allora la rabbia diventa uno strumento da suonare, perché la cosa più difficile, a volte, è farsi ascoltare. Bruciante, crudele e diretto come un pugno in faccia o il primo amore: questo romanzo e i suoi protagonisti lasceranno il segno.

It was the worst of times and it was the worst of times. Everyone was going nowhere and everyone was trying to jump on the bandwagon ... or so it might appear to those who have borne witness to a world that promises so little and delivers even less. The weight of history and the burden of expectation somehow conspire to ensure that youth is always wasted on the young. Cursing the darkness while conjuring up new, ever more defiant ways of fighting fire with fire and yet, perplexing and all as it may have been, it cannot be said to have been without some sense of purpose. For what else is one to do when no other obvious option presents itself? Those who may be inclined to pass judgement should recognise that the passage of time is the only real arbiter, and it has since moved on. Anger is a potent force, a powerful weapon but ultimately self-destructive. Those who wield it, find out one way or another, the kind of force it can unleash. If it must be directed any given quarter, then may your aim be true, your judgement be sound and fortune guide its path. Also, let it be discarded and safely disposed of once it has fulfilled its purpose. A collection of poems dealing with subject matter that is wide ranging, while never straying too far from where the human heart should be gravitating towards.
