Condemned to forced labour in a boot camp planted in a desert in the middle of nowhere, young delinquents who have known nothing but crime and violence serve out their time, digging in the earth day after day until their sentence is over. In this world with no future, where life goes dry and hatred smoulders, there is no hope of rehabilitation. What’s more, it is hard to know who is more inhuman, more dangerous, more despicable – guards or prisoners.
And so, day after day, the prisoners dig the earth as they wait for the day when they can get their hands on some carefully hidden loot, or regain their freedom with no constraints. But it’s a waste of time; the spiral of violence will sweep everything away with it, dreams as well as lives. Shove It Up Your Head is a very dark novel, with such dramatic tension that once you start reading, it’s impossible to stop.
