City of God Full Description
Built in the 1960s to provide homes for flood refuges, the City of God, a housing project outside of Rio de Janeiro, has become one of the world`s most notoriously crime-plagued urban areas, a place where children gun down children over drugs, money, gang ties, or sometimes for no reason at all. Paulo Lins grew up in the City of God and after years of extensive research wrote a sprawling crime epic about the bloody gang war that took place in 1982. Released in 1997, the novel, stuffed with brilliant vignettes, violent tendrils of narrative, and 350 vivid characters (almost all known by nicknames) quickly became a smash hit in Brazil, and led to the masterly 2002 film by Fernando Meirelles. After nearly a decade, the novel has been translated into English--a Herculean task considering the abundance of street slang and cultural references--and a whole new audience can experience the visceral and savage, yet occasionally joyous, life in the CITY OF GOD.
