In Sweet Revenge , Regina Barreca explains why revenge is one of our most universal experiences--and why, no matter how slight or petty or naughty, it always tastes so sweet. You'll meet the woman who drove her ex and his new wife into odor-madness by sewing scores of tiny shrimp into their curtains. You'll cheer the airline employee who made sure an abusive passenger made his flight to Kansas City--and then directed his luggage to Tokyo. From killing them with kindness to going for the gut, Sweet Revenge is sure to teach some new tricks to even the truest revenge connoisseur.
