Thomas Keneally's "Bloody Good Rant" is a scathing indictment of the powers that be. When a disgruntled everyman named Frank loses his job and his home, he decides to take matters into his own hands. Armed with a baseball bat and a list of grievances, Frank storms the offices of the corrupt politicians and corporate bigwigs he holds responsible for his downfall. As he unleashes his rage, the city descends into chaos, and Frank must confront the consequences of his actions. At its core, "Bloody Good Rant" is a blistering exploration of the frustrations of the working class and the lengths they'll go to reclaim their power.
