MEM

In "MEM," debut novelist Bethany Morrow presents a thought-provoking tale set in an art deco world where memories can be extracted and stored in mirror-like beings known as Mems. Among them is Dolores Extract #1, the first Mem capable of creating her own memories and living independently, until she is unexpectedly summoned back to the Vault. This haunting narrative delves into profound themes of identity, memory, and historical ownership, echoing the depth of Kazuo Ishiguro’s work, all set against the backdrop of Montreal's overlooked slave trade.
