491 by Lars Gorling

491 is the explosive Swedish novel about the exploits of a gang of brawling, savagely cool delinquents. Instead of being sent to prison, they are assigned to a welfare hostel where they have to submit to tests and interviews from psychologists and welfare workers. They continue their life of car stealing, pilfering, gang violence and loveless sexual encounters. 491 explores their world of lust, treachery and conflict. At the same time it condemns the society that has created and rejected them. Moving towards a terrifying climax of violence, 491 is unrelenting in its pace and unsparing in its description of a world where brutality and cyncism have replaced innocence and loyalty. This 1970 Sphere Paperback is in fair condition. Owner's Name inside. Cover worn and faded. Pages tanned.
