En savoir plus sur le livre
Didier Decoin's remarkable book recounts a true event, showcasing extraordinary literary quality from the first to the last page. On March 13, 1964, in Queens, 28-year-old Kitty Genovese is attacked by a man named Winston Moseley as she returns home from her shift as a waitress. Moseley, an unremarkable family man, raises Kitty's suspicions as he approaches her. As she attempts to reach a call box for help, he catches up to her and brutally stabs her. In a horrifying sequence lasting about half an hour, Kitty is raped and ultimately murdered, while at least 38 witnesses hear her screams and watch from illuminated windows. The witnesses' persistent inaction has led to the coining of the term 'bystander effect' or 'Genovese syndrome,' which has been used since Kitty Genovese's murder.
