About the Book

This book reveals the author's struggle with her recurring themes--injustice, moral ambiguity, the blade of cruelty at the heart of human relationships--much more nakedly than in her novels. Bestial Crimes presents a handful of revenge stories, in which subdued dogs, goats, elephants, and pigs strike back at their abusive masters. Short stories that encourage us to align ourselves with the beasts rather than the humans.
