The novel begins with Kathy reminiscing about her time at Hailsham which the reader soon realizes is a boarding school. Kathy brings the reader through her childhood at the school where she met friends, is educated by slightly odd teachers, and prepares for the next stage in her live. As Kathy gets older, she becomes more perceptive of the oddities at Hailsham and begins to question what is really ahead for the school's students. Suddenly, school traditions such as "the sale" (in which students sell their work to each other) takes on a completely different meaning as the students realize the Madame of the school is purchasing their work for her own "Gallery". Eventually, they realize that their lives are predetermined and Hailsham is just schooling them on becoming "carers" and "donors". In the first chapter, Kathy mentions that she's a carer for those who are donors. It is clear that the donor is a person who donates their organs and their carer is just that, a person who cares for the donor. The narration then seems to follow Kathy's train of thought. I was nervous because this is usually an interesting though confusing narration style. However, her train of thought stays on the logical tracks and moves fairly chronologically. Whatever preconceptions I had of this narrative style, flew out the window as I devoured page after page without looking up for hours. As I was reading, I thought the ideas in the novel were incredible and though I had heard of such a scenario in a book before it still felt fresh and new. Yet, once I finished it and started to think about the great issue in the book it started to seem a bit hackneyed. The writing is beautiful and reminiscent of Margaret Atwood but nothing extraordinary. www.iamliteraryaddicted.blogspot.com

Hmm. Where to start on Gary Shteyngart's Super Sad True Love Story? A potentially interesting concept marred by annoying characters and a poor execution. Lenny Abramov, approaching forty and obsessed with his own mortality, a lone book reader in a Media/Retail/Credit obsessed future, falls in love with an Asian-American woman, Eunice Park, of the younger generation that has easily assimilated into the new way of communicating and consuming. Communicated in his diary entries and her messages to friends and family on a Facebook like website known as GlobalTeens, we follow their relationship against the backdrop of massive scale revolt outside of Lenny's secure apartment. For me, Lenny's love for Eunice never really seemed to move beyond his own projected image of her and so he is as much a part of the surface social world as her. I struggled to believe the ease at which so many men seemed to fall in love with her. The writing, in both Lenny and Eunice's chapters, is a little too self-aware, too pleased with the supposed "cleverness" of the ideas presented. For Shteyngart, it seems that vaguely predicting where our current culture is heading with a level of satrical wit is enough. I think I wanted the story to be more politically and socially engaged. I wanted to be in Tompkins Square Park, not stuck in the confines of Lenny's apartment and their relationship. So, while the future dystopia of a post-literate, image and consumer driven society presented in Super Sad True Love Story is a recognizable one, ultimately Shteyngart succumbs to the very superficiality that he purports to critique. Read Ballard instead.
