clss97 's review for:

Once Upon a Time by Alex Kingston, Nadine Gordimer

2.0

In a similar style to Guin's Omelas, this text is one which offers a warning to readers and integrates a moral into something which is rather 3d. It is always fun to read something which challenges and breaks down the fourth wall. The name of it especially was what caught my eye and it did not disappoint. Alongside it's moral questioning of capitalism and the segregation of people to ensure 'safety', so much of this echoed the work of Angela Carter in the Bloody Chamber. I am looking forward to studying this further.
