Just finished the brilliant Crimes Against My Brother by David Adams Richards. No one writes about betrayal like Richards. This quote late in the book hit me in the stomach:
Quote:
It is dangerous not to think of your friends as your greatest enemies. It is dangerous not to think that those who have conformed in their views all their lives will not conform when thinking of you, and not want you to enliven their boredom or affirm their belief in how they were told the world works by revelling in your destruction.
