Ingratitude

Peter Sotos

Nine Banded Books, USA. 2018. First edition paperback. Like new.

From the publisher: 

"Through the revisitation of a kept file of newspaper clippings, Peter Sotos blends formative personal history with an exacting analysis of criminal and victim case reports to render a pornographically freighted disquisition on sexual compulsion and desistance. Ingratitude is also a study of restitution set against and the perpetual churn of memory. “It’s so easy to think you’re worse than you are.”

This is sotos at his most reflective and self-flagellating. A fascinating look straight in the mirror. Harrowing as always, but you know that.
