Displacement

by Kiku Hughes

Hm, not sure how to rate! I actively disliked the time travel framing story and the passivity/contextlessness it causes until the explanation of why that framing story was used in part III. At that point it made more sense as an artistic choice at least. Maybe I need to read this a second time to get the full impact, then? I also saw that it was partly inspired by the Octavia Butler book which I haven't read yet; maybe that also provides some necessary artistic context that wasn't present in Displacement itself.
