...better new novelists, Indian or otherwise, is Sherman Alexie," says TIME's John Skow. His latest book, Indian Killer (Atlantic Monthly Press; 420 pages; $22), is a murderous urban legend not calculated to calm anyone's racial unease. Rage builds slowly in the heart of John Smith, a decent but troubled Native American who was taken from his 14-year-old Indian mother and adopted by well-meaning whites. Unreconciled to his new life but unable to speak a native language, and not even knowing which tribe his mother belonged to, he lives a solitary existence as a high-steel...
Siemans does an excellent job conveying the complex character of Jerry. As he leaps around the stage, his monologue moves rapidly from rambling narration to blunt social commentary to moments of intense rage. Still, behind all of this anger is a man searching for love and understanding. This is best illustrated by, as Jerry puts it, "The Story of Jerry and the Dog," a tale about his relationship with his landlady's dog. The story, like the play itself, begins humorously but ends tragically. The unusual way in which Jerry seeks love serves only to push others away, further isolating...
...when Jerusalem authorities cut through the last part of the Hasmonean tunnel, as it is called, they tapped into a wellspring of rage, all of it, for the moment, directed at Israel.

Arafat's troops, who were widely viewed two weeks ago as the enemies of the public, are its heroes today. Abu-Amr concludes, "This is definitely consolidating and broadening the power base of Mr. Arafat...
...five years ago set audiences to cheering when Geena Davis and Susan Sarandon blasted a trucker's rig to smithereens--or last year's Waiting to Exhale, which had women yelling "Go, girl!" at the screen--The First Wives Club is dipping into a bottomless well of shared female rage. It is rage at the imbalance of power that allows men to use up the best years of a woman's life, then trade her in for an ingenue--and rage at every single element that goes into that scenario: the obsession with youth and looks, the persistent inequality...
Many first wives, it seems, indulge in revenge fantasies. But though rage at a bitter breakup may be natural, it can be dangerous too. Manhattan psychotherapist Carole Fudin reports that one of her patients shredded her husband's wardrobe. Another crashed her car into his. A third woman came within inches of running her husband down, hitting the brakes just in time. Fortunately, none of them went as far as La Jolla, California, socialite Betty Broderick, who in 1989 gunned down her ex-husband and his new young wife, an assistant from his law office, in their bedroom...
