The Bastard Pleasure — Sean McGrady

"McGrady scrapes away at the surface truths that so many people so comfortably hide behind in order to justify their lifetimes of action and inaction, and gets at, if not definitive answers, definitive questions, that, once asked, cannot be ignored." -- Louisiana State University Book Review

The Bastard Pleasure is a dark novel. It concerns the destruction of identity, and the brutal way in which it is reclaimed - more plainly it is about terrorism, in all its mundane and incomprehensible forms, and self-determination.
