bloody people

Author's name: Paul Auster

The book addresses the phenomenon of violence in American society from a sensitive and controversial angle, as well as a source of concern and even horror. In this book, American novelist Paul Auster is an intellectual concerned with a very serious issue in a society where many races, minorities, and ethnicities have coexisted, making up American society since its inception in the seventeenth century. It is the issue of weapons and the bloody violence associated with them. “This is a country born in violence, but it was also born with a past, one hundred and eighty years of prehistory in which people lived in constant wars with the inhabitants of the land we seized, and in constant acts of oppression against our enslaved minority—the two great sins that led us to revolution and for which we have yet to atone.”
