Night Court

Written in the mid-20th century, 'Night Court' by Norman Arkawy is a dystopian short story set in New York City. It presents a grotesque courtroom where an audience revels in the humiliation and punishment of societal 'undesirables,' raising questions about morality and the nature of entertainment. The story critiques the voyeuristic tendencies of society and the ethical implications of deriving pleasure from others' suffering.
