Little Eyes by Samanta Schweblin
4.0
3.5/5 ⭐️
What a weird and unsettling study of humanity. It reminds me a lot of that Marina Abramovic performance where people could do whatever they wanted to her and as she stood in silence, the things people did grew more and more violent. Was it just because she had no say in it? Or had no right to say anything? This book is a longer meditation on that.
It’s such an interesting look at how performative being ‘socially acceptably good’ is.
I think the kentukis were so creepy to me because of the dissonance between the cute plushie exterior and the human-to-a-fault people controlling them. And I LOVED IT
