From sharp-tongued satire to moments that break your heart, Resonance is the most unflinching volume yet in the acclaimed Conversations with the Devil collection. Not every conversation here involves the Devil himself. One begins with a phone call no parent should ever receive. Another follows a woman who’s masked her entire life without realizing she’s on the autism spectrum. Elsewhere, a comedian takes verbal swings at a trial lawyer, and the Devil’s familiar bite returns in stories that skewer ego, vanity, and the absurdities of human nature.
