THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS is out in paperback on 5/1!

I'm excited that the paperback of THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS is out on Tuesday!

The Los Angeles Review of Books says, "With a pitch-perfect insight Namkung charts the ranges of emotions, justifications, and equivocations that a predator's actions have provoked in the lives of others."
