Here Lies Bitterness Healing from Resentment

"Fleury's theorization of resentment is powerfully informed by philosophy, psychoanalysis, and political theory, and at the same time forges its own original and compelling account of self-destructive modes of existence. In this beautifully written meditation on resentment, Fleury opens up new ways of thinking about a subject's capacity to become a trapped, incapacitated, and bitter victim of its own ruminations. The implications of this book are profound and manifold."

"In view of the political crises that spare no region of the world today, we can no longer ignore that democracy is mortal and very sick: too often we see the sacred right to vote turned against democratic values. It is essential to understand why, and what is to be done. That is why it is urgent to dive into this book's luminous demonstration that the disease has a name - resentment - and to explore the philosophical and psychoanalytical paths toward healing that its author opens up."

"[P]rovides both academics and clinical therapists with a comprehensive paradigm of resentment as a dysfunctional state of mind."
