商品簡介
"Blauner never shies away from the grotesque, or the beautiful. . . . Courageous and innovative and mesmerizing, Frankenstein for a new age." Helen Phillips,The Beautiful Bureaucrat
"A statement about the nature of evil and its inevitability, even necessity, that reveals the tragic essence of [Blauner's] vision and her adroitness with metaphor." Jerome Gold,The Moral Life of Soldiers
"If Solace was like its protagonistbuilt from others' body partsit might draw its parts from Ishiguro'sNever Let Me Go, Haddon's The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time, and, naturally,Frankenstein. In the end, Solace is its own weird and wonderful creation, the story of the fifth version of a daughter who, despite being haunted by lives she never led . . . simply wants to be herself." Mark Brazaitis,The Incurables

How does an artificial creature discover life? What do her adventures tell us about "natural" life and our own attempts to surviveand find solacein the world?
