Our friend Jonathan Ade (@JonoKino) from our previous episodes on FRANNY & ZOOEY and LES MISERABLES is here to discuss a non-fiction novel of violence and tribalism and masculinity: AMONG THE THUGS by Bill Buford.
SUMMARY:
An American in England, Bill Buford witnesses a train full of soccer hooligans erupt in violence. This leads him down an 8 year research project of discovering the root of violent hooliganism, as he tests his theories of what causes mass violence and crowd behavior.
