Synopsis

Humanity's Rage is a poignant exploration of man's inhumanity to man, its origins, and what is known as 'compassion fatigue' - that loss of sensitivity to the suffering of others that is a result of both our natural selfishness and an over-exposure to grim images of pain and misery. But instigating, allowing or simply ignoring such suffering does not only hurt those who need our sympathy and assistance - it also hurts us as individuals and as a collective human group. Written in a very distinctive prose style, full of repetitions and ellipses that give the writing a faltering sense of hesitancy or outrage. It is a compassionate cry from the heart, urging us all to look to our fellow humans' suffering rather than turning a blind eye.
