Karel grows up, with his sister and disabled brother, in the poor neighborhood of Marseille. Together, they share a childhood struggle for survival, through abuse, drug addiction, poverty and institutional indifference. Karel tries to imagine the life he might have led, born under a better star, to less marginal and abusive parents. He wonders if he's been somehow contaminated by violence and if it will lead him to damage others in turn? Some Men… is an ambitious, urgent novel, a story of society and our hard, mad, barbaric world. A novel that looks evil in the eye and tells of a devastated childhood, injustice, drugs and violence.
