The Conrad Press Sick Animals

We are all just creatures trying to survive the consequences of being misunderstood. In SICK ANIMALS a much-maligned man tells his story with stark honesty and aching poignancy. One night, at precisely one oclock in the morning, he commits an act so small, so seemingly harmless, that it should have passed unnoticed. Instead, it sparks a devastating chain reaction: the blunt force of the law, the collapse of a marriage, the splintering of a family, and the slow, merciless unravelling of a life. Moving, darkly humorous, and quietly enraging, this memoir explores the anatomy of modern-day unfairness, the way weakness corrodes truth, how judgement replaces compassion, and how easily one human being can become a scapegoat. Inspired by the raw and relentless notion of injustice, SICK ANIMALS is a haunting meditation on blame, morality, endurance, and the fragile line between innocence and guilt. Autorid: Paolo Ventura
