Bloodbath Nation

"Bloodbath Nation" by one of America’s biggest intellectuals, Paul Auster, is a thought-provoking account of the USA’s bloody and horrific history with guns.

Every day over hundreds of people are killed by guns in the USA. 200 humans are at the same time wounded in events with guns. It is terryfing, blooddripping numbers, that excels every other countries of the western world by far. We have become used to new tragic school shootings, police violence and mass killings. But why? Why are guns so an essential part of the American identity? A change is on its way, and the whole America are deeply divided in the question about the right to bear arms. In the "Bloodbath Nation" Paus Austers unfold’s America’s horrifying history with gunviolence. His words are followed by Spencer Ostrander’s black-white photos.
