The powerful accounts of 1 writer's unlikely companionship with his youth bully, now the chief executive of a motorcycle club in another of America's most dangerous cities. Once upon a period, Alex Abramovich and Trevor Latham were mortal enemies: miniature outlaws in an extended Island elementary university, perpetually at each other's throats. They lost tabs on each other. Generations later, when they found again, Abramovich was a writer, and Latham had become chief executive of the East Bay Rats, a motorcycle golf club in Oakland. This year 2010, Abramovich relocated to California to immerse himself in Latham's world - one of attack clubs, booze-filled times, and beatdowns on the city's streets. But dangerous, dysfunctional Oakland was also becoming one of America's most rapidly gentrifying cities, and the questions Abramovich had appeared with were thrown into brutal pain relief: How do we live with the responsibility of violence? How do we beat it? Do we beat it? As Trevor, the Rats, and the town they stay in careen between crises and occasions of renaissance, Abramovich explores issues of companionship, family, background, and destiny - and looks at what happens when those things fail. Bullies is at once a stunning, visceral narrative of an unusual companionship and an incisive family portrait of a beautiful, terrible city.
