A practical handbook for the guilty: confessions of an unorthodox killer

This work is a comprehensive examination of guilt that relates to the life of the author and those around him. The many facets of guilt are examined through short confessions which link together several essays. These essays cover a multitude of subjects from being the child of divorce, to the complexity of identity, and the relationship between hope, faith, community, and religion. The work covers larger questions as well, such as morality, mortality and the human condition. Several different forms are used in the project, such as a court report and an OkCupid profile, as tools to express larger themes. The project contains several different elements of the author’s own life as well, such as his work in the casino gaming industry, his participation as a juror in a celebrity murder trial, and a near death experience.
