What happens when you can't tell if you are crazy or sane? When you can't tell if it's you or everyone else? What would life be like if you could just be yourself and not have to worry about the basics of day to day survival? On the other hand, what would life be like if people in power offered you your freedom but at a ridiculously high price? This was the first Marge Piercy book I read. It had been recommended to me eight or nine years ago. Why I didn't read it, I don't know but I should have. Piercy's politics shine through in this one too (anti-institutionalized mental health care along the lines of Ken Kesey's work, anti-racist, anti-capitalist, anti-sexist) -- it's a lot of battles to be fighting at once. The other thing unique to this book is that the protagonist moves between the brutal world of being institutionalized (and experimented upon) and her "safe" world (it's never fully clear if this world is imaginary or a science-fiction alternate/parallel reality and our evaluation, in turn, shapes our opinion of the protagonist). In the "safe world," most everything is ideal and there is no gender. The characters do not use he, she, him, her, etc. Gendered pronouns are replaced with "person;" I found this really neat. My partner was kind of bothered by it but I thought it added to the color of the and personality of the other world. Anyway, I love this book. It's an odd one for sure and it took a while to get going (give it a good hundred pages before you decide) but it's also one of my very favorites with He, She and It.
