Once upon a time, Alex Abramovich and Trevor Latham were mortal enemies: miniature outlaws in a Long Island elementary school, perpetually at each other's throats. Then they lost track of each other. Decades later, when they met again, Abramovich was a writer and Latham had become president of the East Bay Rats, a motorcycle club in Oakland. In 2010, Abramovich moved to California to immerse himself in Latham's world--one of fight clubs, booze-filled nights, and beat-downs on the city's streets. But dangerous, dysfunctional Oakland was also becoming one of America's most rapidly gentrifyingcities, and the questions Abramovich had arrived with were thrown into brutal relief: How do we live with the burden of violence? How do we overcome it? Do we overcome it? As Trevor, the Rats, and the city they live in careen between crises and moments of renaissance, Abramovich explores issues of friendship, family, history, and destiny--and looks at what happens when those things fail. Bullies is at once a vivid, visceral narrative of an unusual friendship and an incisive portrait of a beautiful, terrible city"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Abramovich, Alex, $d 1972- $x Friends and associates. 600 10 $a Latham, Trevor. 650 0 $a Male friendship $z Oakland. $z Oakland. 651 0 $a Oakland (Calif.) $v Biography. 650 0 $a Authors, American $z Oakland $z Oakland $v Biography. 650 0 $a Motorcyclists $z Oakland $z Oakland $v Biography. 651 0 $a Oakland (Calif.) $x Social conditions $y 21st century. 600 10 $a Abramovich, Alex, $d 1972- $x Childhood and youth. 650 0 $a Bullying $z Long Island. $z Long Island. 650 0 $a Violence $x Psychological aspects. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Criminals & Outlaws. $2 bisacsh 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers2/bk1388/282/9780805094282/image/lgcover.9780805094282.jpg 941 $a 12 952 $l 0YSX353 $d 20220315011337.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20211202010744.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722052000.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529011726.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191214015259.0 952 $l PYAX423 $d 20191001012623.0 952 $l DAPG173 $d 20170815011641.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20161223010544.0 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20161119010956.0 952 $l OCPA943 $d 20160531010043.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20160427010956.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160323015722.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EC77ED28B8FE11E5951DB6E5DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
