My Name Is Revenge is in two parts. There is a novella, and an essay reflecting on the historic events that inspired that novella, and meditating, on how history can inform fiction. In the essay, the writer says she hopes everything she writes will 'arouse curiosity'. Both the novella and the essay do just that, and much, much more. Both pieces are, informed by a passion to express the haunting of almost unimaginable historical crimes, and the tragic shapes that vengeance for those crimes can take.
