*Originally published as "I Hate Hate!" in November 2022. Alma is a counselor at the Tolerance Department, known for being patient and kind with even her most difficult clients. But inside, she's haunted by a feeling that something's missing. She's joined by a diverse cast of characters, all trying to make America a better place, including a newscaster whose fans police the streets using just their cell phones, a corporate lawyer battling emotional injustice in his spare time, and a Bangladeshi immigrant convinced-despite all evidence to the contrary-that he's living the American dream. As the nation grows more and more zealous in its reckoning with its own past and present sins, they all stumble, they all struggle to adapt, and they all come perilously close to ending up on the wrong side of the ideals they so cherish. Hate Hunters takes an unflinching, satirical look at this moment in America, and poses timeless questions about the nature of guilt, shame, punishment, innocence, and redemption.
