( ) https://fromtheheartofeurope.eu/the-men-by-sandra-newman-brief-note/ Strong images and thoughts but badly let down by the ending. And I’m very bothered by the transphobia. 26 de agosto, 7.14 de la mañana: Jane Pearson amanece ante un mundo radicalmente distinto, uno en el que todos los hombres han desaparecido, incluidos su hijo y su marido. Mientras los busca sin perder la esperanza de traerlos de vuelta, ante ella surge una sociedad nueva, mejor, más feliz y segura que la anterior. Jane se enfrentará así a un gran dilema: tendrá que decidir si quiere ayudar a los hombres a regresar o si prefiere seguir viviendo en un nuevo mundo sin ellos. Hermosa e inquietante, Un mundo sin hombres no rehúye las grandes preguntas ni las respuestas incómodas. A caballo entre el thriller y la ciencia ficción, brillantemente construida y con una premisa que pone sobre la mesa temas de gran actualidad, es una exploración sobre sacrificios imposibles que nos plantea a qué estaríamos dispuestos a renunciar para crear un mundo mejor. This book is interestingly terrible. It has a compelling premise that quickly goes way off course and then abruptly ends. There is some vivid horror writing but none of it ends up being relevant. Many (too many) themes and threads -- gender, race, policing, COVID, conspiracy theories, sexual abuse, economics, politics -- but none of them get enough attention to get resolved into anything coherent. It ended up feeling like a checklist of "social issues" with nothing to say about any of them. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Deep in the California woods on an evening in late August, Jane Pearson is camping with her husband Leo and their five-year-old son Benjamin. As dusk sets in, she drifts softly to sleep in a hammock strung outside the tent where Leo and Benjamin are preparing for bed. At that moment, every single person with a Y chromosome vanishes around the world, disappearing from operating theaters mid-surgery, from behind the wheels of cars, from arguments and acts of love. Children, adults, even fetuses are gone in an instant. Leo and Benjamin are gone. No one knows why, how, or where. After the Disappearance, Jane forces herself to enter a world she barely recognizes, one where women must create new ways of living while coping with devastating grief. As people come together to rebuild depopulated industries and distribute scarce resources, Jane focuses on reuniting with an old college girlfriend, Evangelyne Moreau, leader of the Commensalist Party of America, a rising political force in this new world. Meanwhile, strange video footage called "The Men" is being broadcast online showing images of the vanished men marching through barren, otherworldly landscapes. Is this just a hoax, or could it hold the key to the Disappearance? A gripping, beautiful, and disquieting novel of feminist utopias and impossible sacrifices, The Men interrogates the dream of a perfect society and the conflict between individual desire and the good of the community"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
