A review by tricapra
MEM by Bethany C. Morrow

5.0

This made me ugly sob and reach out to my friends. This novella digs deep into what it is to be a person shaped by trauma, born of it, in fact. I was both shocked and delighted by how philosophical this was while creating an interesting alternative history, that I immediately wanted more of. Keep an eye on Bethany Morrow.

Dolores is a Mem, a memory extracted and literally made flesh. She is unlike other Mems, in that she does not wither and die within a few days, after suffering a purgatory-like existence. Dolores is more. But what does that mean? You'll definitely want to find out.
