Synopsis

A timely novel about healing the world and oneself.

In a nation determined to atone for its past, people walk the streets poised to capture intolerant behavior on their cell phones, and they send the footage in to the hit show Hate Hunters. Alma the tolerance counselor spends her days reforming the offenders, patiently lecturing them on the finer points of white privilege and the lasting ravages of colonialism. But inside, she’s quietly wrestling with one of the worst cases of white guilt known to man; and it’s beginning to seep out in strange ways—scandalizing her coworkers.

Of all her unsavory clients, Jackie is perhaps the most egregious. Unable to control her public outbursts, she insists she’s misunderstood, pointing to her friend Mohammad as evidence she’s a tolerant person. But Mohammad has problems of his own in this increasingly self-rebuking society. A Bangladeshi immigrant and possibly the last true believer in the American dream, he worries he may have unknowingly radicalized his daughter.

As their lives intertwine in a world of well-thought-out ideologies—where one false move could unleash a wrath of biblical proportions—this sublimely imaginative, sharply satirical novel is about good intentions gone awry and the daring lengths people will go to to assert their common humanity in a divided age.
