The Book of Anger

What exactly is anger? Unlike sadness, fear, or desire, anger is —at least in our society— a banned emotion. When did it become forbidden and why? Can rage have positive connotations? How can we deal with it in an era of constant surveillance? These are some of the questions that guide this fiction writing project.
