SUMMARY:🪐 Speculative Futures Reading Group: 'I Who Have Never Known Men' by Jacqueline Harpman
DESCRIPTION:The Speculative Futures Reading Group meets on the last Wednesday of every month at 7 p.m.! \nDeep underground\, thirty-nine women live imprisoned in a cage. Watched over by guards\, the women have no memory of how they got there\, no notion of time\, and only a vague recollection of their lives before. \nAs the burn of electric light merges day into night and numberless years pass\, a young girl—the fortieth prisoner—sits alone and outcast in the corner. Soon she will show herself to be the key to the others’ escape and survival in the strange world that awaits them above ground. \nJacqueline Harpman was born in Etterbeek\, Belgium\, in 1929\, and fled to Casablanca with her family during WWII. Informed by her background as a psychoanalyst and her youth in exile\, I Who Have Never Known Men is a haunting\, heartbreaking post-apocalyptic novel of female friendship and intimacy\, and the lengths people will go to maintain their humanity in the face of devastation. Back in print for the first time since 1997\, Harpman’s modern classic is an essential addition to the growing canon of feminist speculative literature.
