Product Description

Product Description
From award-winning essayist Lance Morrow, a provocative meditation on the nature of evil, and a daring analysis of its role in the modern world. Long couched only in theological terms, and popularly personified by the despots of history, the nature of evil has resisted explanation. In this singular survey of this mysterious but all too often palpable force, veteran Time magazine writer Lance Morrow examines the unmistakable ways evil influences our global culture-and how that global culture in turn has magnified evil's menace. Its dramatic reemergence in the national consciousness-against a backdrop of high-tech, sensationalized violence-makes his updated understanding both timely and absolutely necessary.Drawing on examples both obscure and splashed across the headlines, Morrow seeks to understand how evil works, and what purpose, if any, it serves. From the heartrending to the harrowing, from quiet lies to catastrophic acts, his stories are drawn from over thirty years of experience as a revered journalist and essayist. The result is a brilliant synthesis of a lifetime of observation that elegantly illuminates a chronically elusive but fascinating subject.

First Sentence
GEORGE W. BUSH and his critics use the word "evil" in ways that suggest both sides are fighting the last war, talking about a world that no longer exists; or rather, both sides fail to see what evil has become in the world that exists now. Read the first page
