Hate Story

Belletristik/Erzählende Literatur
Beschreibung
A violent mob disrupts the East Toronto funeral service for unemployed loner Paul Shoreditch. The riot attracts sensational media attention, especially online, but is soon forgotten. Meanwhile, aspiring journalist, film fanatic and Internet addict Jackie Roberts discovers a bizarre online community that has been sullying Paul's name for years.
What did Paul do to these people?
Why is their animosity so intense?
Why are they so secretive?
As Jackie learns about Paul's life story, she finds herself empathizing with him despite her gut feelings, but nothing prepares her for the truth.
This offbeat mix of satire and mystery dares to tackle some of the most fiery and controversial social topics of our generation.
Darkly funny, subversive and sometimes outrageous, Hate Story takes a sledgehammer to the disturbing modern trend of Internet bullying and shaming.
