His new name is Jack. To his new friends, he is a good guy
with occasional flashes of unexpected violence. To his new girlfriend, he is
strangely inexperienced and unreachable. To his case worker, he's a victim of
the system and of media-driven hysteria.
And to himself, Jack is on permanent trial: most of his life has been spent in
juvenile institutions, guilty of a monstrous childhood crime. Searing and
heartfelt,
Boy A is a devastating exploration of guilt,
retribution and the blurred lines between fact and fabrication.
