This book haunts my thoughts. Beyond being a 2000s utopian society commentary on women’s role within society, it’s just bloody freaky

Une étrange chose que ce livre; entre Kafka, Orwell, Saramago et le (mauvais) film de Catwoman. Beaucoup de propos racistes et misogynes—n’a pas bien vieilli. Si vous hésitez à lire, ne le lisez pas, ça ne vaut pas la peine.
