The tradition recounted in several thousand years of literature does not lessen the shocking impact of modern encounters with cruelty represented by harassment. Like countless dramatists and novelists, I have always wondered at the brutality human beings can show to each other for no apparent reason. Yet knowing the reason can make the cruelty seem even more pathetic and tragic, especially when other, more humane ways to achieve the same ends are readily available. – Carroll M. Brodsky, The Harassed Worker, p. vii By the same author: The Bastard in le Bureau: Universal Lessons from Three Modern French Plays, Kindle Digital 2021
