Vengeance by Zachary Lazar

4.0

Is this really fiction? It doesn't feel like it. I think it is fiction in the sense that when a story is committed to paper, it stops being true and living, and devolves into just a story, told for a purpose and so leaving out parts, with some things imagined or extrapolated, and always from the writer's point of view.

It has a lot to say and to show, about privilege, about justice, about families, about institionalized vengeance. It ain't pretty. But even if fiction, it is true.
