I liked this one because of the cultural twist: "Because survival is insufficient."<br /><br />Wendy - Oh, maybe you have a suggestion for my next read by this author? I've never read her before, but this novel engaged me because of the importance of art to the performers and to society.jenclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06046532245054911248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22616974.post-88862359071779829202014-08-26T16:08:59.219-05:002014-08-26T16:08:59.219-05:00I've enjoyed Emily St. John Mandel's books...I've enjoyed Emily St. John Mandel's books in the past. She always seems to do something a little different. I hadn't heard of this one before, but it does sound good.

They're usually a hit or miss for me, so I'm quite picky when it comes to such themes. <br /><br />I'm quite intrigued with this though.

The graphic novel provides a kind of parallel story to what actually happens.

I rarely read them, so it would be a nice change of pace.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06574641672605054506noreply@blogger.com
