Welcome to Litsy!

I haven‘t read much dystopian literature lately, so it's been interesting to listen/read to these two dystopian novels in a week. I enjoyed Meg Elison's The Book of the Unnamed Midwife, which envisions humanity slaughtered by a virus that makes it impossible for women to deliver healthy babies. Ling Ma's Severance is both a compelling read and a thought-provoking satire of the routines that govern the "lives of quiet desperation" at its center.

Though I enjoyed the first book more, this was good, and I'm definitely looking forward to the last installment...curious how this is going to wrap up!

Review soon to come.
