À la croisée des univers de Colson Whitehead, George Saunders ou encore Carmen Maria Machado, ce roman imagine un monde où des condamnés peuvent purger leur peine à condition qu’ils participent à un programme nommé «Divertissement pénal d’action criminelle» (DPAC). Téléréalité d’un nouveau genre, celui-ci met en scène des combats de gladiateurs version 2.0, où les participants se livrent une lutte à mort sous les yeux d’une foule en liesse et de millions de streameurs. Si, au bout de trois ans, l’un d’entre eux est encore en vie, il est libéré.

Welcome to Chain-Gang All-Stars - the highly popular, highly controversial profit-raising program inside America's private prison system. Harkening back to the time of gladiators, but watched by millions of live-stream subscribers, prisoners compete for the ultimate prize: their freedom.

A piercingly raw debut story collection from a young writer with an explosive voice; a treacherously surreal and, at times, heartbreakingly satirical look at what it's like to be young and black in America.

Friday Black tackles urgent instances of racism and cultural unrest and explores the many ways we fight for humanity in an unforgiving world. In the first unforgettable story of this collection, 'The Finkelstein Five', Adjei-Brenyah gives us an unstinting reckoning of the brutal prejudice of the US justice system. In 'Zimmer Land' we see a far-too-easy-to-believe imagining of racism as sport. And 'Friday Black' and 'How to Sell a Jacket as Told by Ice King' show the horrors of consumerism and the toll it takes on us all.

Loretta Thurwar y Hamara "Hurricane Staxxx" Stacker son las estrellas de La Liga de los Presos, la piedra angular de un programa lucrativo y tan popular como polémico en la industria penitenciaria privada de Estados Unidos. Es el retorno de los gladiadores y los prisioneros compiten por un único premio: su libertad. Los combates a muerte se celebran en arenas atestadas de gente y con manifestantes apostados en las puertas. Thurwar y Staxxx, compañeras de equipo y amantes, son las favoritas de los fans.
