Michael Engelbrecht:
Ryan Gattis’s new novel, All Involved, his third, is actually six interlinked novellas, told through 17 first-person narratives, covering 144 hours of life in Los Angeles. It begins on 29 April 1992, shortly after three police officers implicated in the vicious beating of Rodney King, a taxi driver, were cleared of wrongdoing. Officially, the LA riots lasted six days and resulted in 53 deaths and 2,000 injuries, but the 36-year-old Gattis sets his ambitious, visceral fiction among Latino gangs who used the chaos to settle old grudges and create even more havoc.
