The Faculty of Indifference is a comedy about counter-terrorism, torture, boredom, suicide and death by natural causes. Trapped between the memory of an intolerable past and the anticipation of so much worse to come, Exley finds there's nothing he can do but live.
The author of "The Fat Of Fed Beasts" and "Reconciliation" contends with the subjects of counter-terrorism, boredom and death in this presentation of a man who works at the Faculty - and hopes that nothing will happen there - considering his father's comparable aversion to incidents at work, and his own son's coded journaling about this preceding figure.
