1857 Conscience Place A Novel by Joyce Thompson (read 6 Jul 1984) This novel is an account of a colony of mutants who are invaded by the scientists who want to carry on experiments with them. Some of the sex scenes are gross and distasteful. The scheme is arbitrarily worked out--the mutants knew some things and not others, with little rational relationship. I, frankly, found the book uncomfortable to read and I am glad I am done reading it.
USA, ca 1985
En gruppe mutanter, "Folket", de uheldige stråleskadede efter radioaktiv bestråling, lever på et sted kaldet "Landet". Leda, Bartholomew, Alice, Ringer, Desdemona, Clotho og de andre omtaler hinanden som hankøn, selvom kønsorganerne som så meget andet er misdannede. De får af til et nyt kuld "unger" bragt ind udefra. Når disse er blevet myndige, former lægerne den og giver dem proteser, der passer til deres kroppe. Tit falder det sammen med at de bliver kønsmodne og show more oplever "Affekten". Det hele styres af "Fædrene", der fx giver ting navne.
???

Bogen er en underlig konstruktion. Hvem skulle finde på sådan en institution? Hvilke påvirkninger skulle skabe de misdannelser, der beskrives? Hvis man bare har en smule kendskab til biologi og genetik, falder hele bogens præmis til jorden.

Behinderte Kinder werden von der US-Regierung in ein geheimes Lager gebracht und leben dort gut, bis die neue Administration die Gelder streicht und ein Labor draus macht.
So hoch erhobene Zeigefinger gabs selten. Und soviel triefendes Mitgefühl.
