If Carl Hiaasen set one of his novels on a residential stretch of boundary line between British Columbia and Washington, or if Richard Russo's characters had relatives in the Pacific Northwest, the result might be something like Jim Lynch's Border Songs. Continue »

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

In a glass-enclosed city of absolute straight lines, nameless numbers, survivors of a devastating war, live out lives devoid of passion and creativity. Until D-503, a mathematician who dreams in numbers, makes a discovery: he has an individual soul. Reputedly the inspiration for Orwell's 1984.

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. [xxxi]-xxxii).

This was a great book. I read 1984 published by Signet Classic and at the end of the book the afterward listed some utopias and some distopias. After reading 1984 and this being the possible insperation for the store I found it and read it. I think that the book had a different spin on the ideas of a world too orderly and the fact that it was writen from the first person perspective and was more like journal entries seemed to add a personal touch to the book. It's worth seeking and adding to your collection.
