Pichette pulls off an absolute coup by creating an immersive world that delights even as it terrifies down to the sentence-level. But don't be fooled. This eerie world is not some far-off hypothetical dream land of elsewhere. Pichette's novella dares us to stare directly at our future in the tradition of the very best speculative fiction: by interrogating a possible future we can most clearly see our present.</p><p></p><p><strong>- Caren Sumption author of <em>Three Songs for Roxy</em> and <em>So Quick Bright Things Come to Confusion</em></strong></p>
