Sinopse
Características

Winner of the 2015 Seizure Viva La Novella PrizeA sharp-edged semi-futuristic riff about a rebellious teenagers last week at an industrial orphanage.Takes all of your dystopian nightmares and connects them to a mother lode of pure emotional intensity. Theres so much keen detail here about the cruel logic of oppressive institutions, youll feel Miriis yearning for freedom in your bones - and youll rejoice at every tiny moment of escape that she achieves. Welcome to Orphancorp is harrowing, scarily real, and ultimately super moving. - Charlie Jane Anders (i09)Punchy, crunchy, sexy and smart, Welcome to Orphancorp is a short, sharp shock of a story with bruised-but-not broken characters and a bonsai dystopia you can actually believe in. Marlee Jane Ward is a writer of heart and passion, muscle and slow-burning anger. - Ian McDonaldWelcome to Orphancorp is an intimate, heartfelt story set in the darkest of places. I cant stop thinking about these characters. - Kij JohnsonAn object lesson in how to dehumanise young people by locking them up and depriving them of all warmth and care - has never been more timely. This gritty, greasy story is peppered with violence and lit with the slenderest shafts of affection and hope. It will make your jaw clench with fear for the indomitable Mirii Mahoney, and your fist punch the air at her every tiny victory. - Margo Lanagan
