www.eventbrite.ca Classic Twists: Never Let Me Go Join literary legend Joyce Carol Oates and critic Jane Hu as they discuss Kazuo Ishiguro's science fiction classic with Rebecca Panovka.

revisiting Ishiguro's "Never Let Me Go"--novel & film--for a panel discussion. what a very depressing novel!--beautifully spare, low-keyed & poetic.
so different from the dramatic terrain of Atwood's "Handmaid's Tale" which in some ways it resembles.

I had forgotten how meekly submissive the "clone" characters are to their fate. this accounts for the extreme monochromatic despair of the novel while in Atwood there is plenty of resistance, plot.

two radically different explorations of dystopia.
