A review by graceliles
Severance by Ling Ma

4.5

the writing was incredible. i knew from the first page that i was going to love this. idk why but i love consuming fictional media about plagues. very odd but it’s so interesting to compare to my irl experiences. the way nostalgia impacts the disease is genius. i also feel like there’s some Camus influence with how Candace sticks to her daily routine even as the world falls apart.
