Über diesen Titel

 We are all more than the worst thing we’ve ever done

“Margulies tells the stories of people who have done monstrous things but are not monsters, are not forever defined by their worst acts. He writes beautifully of pain and loss, but also of redemption and transformation….A wonderfully hopeful book about what it means to be human.”—Sister Helen Prejean, author of Dead Man Walking

In Cast Out, civil rights lawyer Joseph Margulies insists that those who commit even the most heinous crimes are one of us and should be judged in a spirit of forgiveness. He explains that American society is too often unforgiving, preferring to cast out those we consider irredeemable by fixating narrowly on the question, “What did they do?”, and imagining that those who have done great wrongs have no past worth learning and no future worth preserving.

But judgment in a forgiving spirit demands that we ask, “What happened?” What brought a human being to this place. Through intimate interviews, his rich chapters bring to life six men and women, sharing their (sometimes brutal) crimes, the grim but all-too-human paths that led them there, and their evolution and insights.

Eye-opening and unflinching, Cast Out makes us truly see those society locks away—the so-called “worst of the worst”. It challenges the reader to see us in them and them in us, and in that way, to recognize the humanity we all share.

Kritikerstimmen

“This is the book I’ve been waiting for. Margulies tells the stories of people who have done monstrous things but are not monsters, are not forever defined by their worst acts. He writes beautifully of pain and loss but also of redemption and transformation. He crisply gives the reader the big facts we need but without abstractions or generalizations; instead, we are given unique stories that made me say, ‘Ah yes, I know this soul.’ This is a wonderfully hopeful book about what it means to be human, and I can’t think of a more important lesson for our time.”
—Sister Helen Prejean, best-selling author of Dead Man Walking: The Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty That Sparked a National Debate
