Kallocain by Karin Boye

3.25

as someone who is not usually a Dystopian Fiction Girl, i really appreciated that this was very a much a politics-explored-through-the-personal type of book. it’s so unfair that this isn’t shouted about like it’s contemporaries (especially when it was doing some of george orwell’s bits before george orwell was). there are many layers to it!!! it’s very well done!!! 

the middle lagged a bit (i’m putting that down to a lack of linda) but overall i very much appreciated it for what it is
