Fruits of Sorrow is a rare book. It recasts an important human
concern in illuminating, memorable, and constructive terms. Spelman
reframes enduring debates over human suffering by asking whose
suffering gets attention, by whom, and for what purposes. . . .
With elegance, honesty, and integrity, Spelman reveals the eerie
proximities of compassion and domination, empathy and
appropriation. Fruits of Sorrow is a crucial guide for any
accidental traveler in the domain of thinking, feeling, and caring.
