I Who Have Never Known Men
by
by
"My memory begins with my anger."
"Inevitably, with memory comes pain."
"Time is a question of being human."
"Conversation creates time."
Given the subject, I thought this would be a feminist novel. It isn't. It is a humanist novel. Gender and sexuality are actually quite muted for large parts of it, and I think it was the best decision the author could make because it allowed her to retain the focus on the experiment it proposes. A great dystopian/speculative (science) fiction novel must do that in order to succeed, especially in a book with no answers.
