During the debate, Bill summons the resolve to give a big Frank Capra speech, confessing that to stay alive he committed burglaries and worse: "I did things for cash that haunt me to this day." He insists that society must save the lost boys. "Until we embrace them - our shadow, our stain - we will never be free of our history." He walks...

The same frank revelation by a 17-year-old literary wunderkind who is accused of liberally - and unabashedly - lifting passages from another writer has now sparked a heated media debate in Germany...
