A review by horourke
They by Kay Dick

3.0

I read each narrator as an individual connected, somehow, to the village. I imagined each short story taking place in the same vicinity, over the course of years. All the narrators are similar yet different. Shows that even in a dystopia where art and individuality are punished, there is joy and love. Deeply confused by the prose and most of the storyline, but enjoyed the concept. First story reminded me of “The Memory Police.” Interesting commentary on what is remembered of art when it’s destroyed. My version did not have the Carmen Maria Machado intro and I wish it did! Will definitely need to read up on this novella to understand it.
