From Trump to Putin to Israel/Gaza, a primal need for revenge saturates politics. But is vengeance an addiction like any other? Author and former lawyer James Kimmel Jr should know. Grievance and pain once drove him to such rage that he almost committed murder. He tells Andrew Harrison how his book The Science of Revenge explains why we take pleasure in others’ pain, why Trump is obsessed with getting his own back at the world… and why John Wick and The Lion King are basically the same movie.
