tindernessIn #EvaMenasse|s Buch "Alles und nichts sagen" (2023) findet sich ein Hinweis zu einem interessanten Stück vergessener #Literatur: #KayDick mit "Sie. Szenen des Unbehagens" (1977). Es schildert die Bedrohung von Kunst und Künstlern durch eine geheimnisvolle Gruppe, durchgehend nur "Sie" genannt:

KarakteristikaThis week I read "They: A Sequence of Unease" by Kay Dick. Dystopian genre seems to be in my favor at the moment, although sometimes too close to the state of the world today. Technically this was hard to read - probably because I am not a native English speaker.

SubtleBlade ⚔️We get braver as we get older’: #MaxinePeake on her daring #dystopia play performed in a #library
#KayDick’s novel #They was almost forgotten – but its dark predictions are eerily prescient. Perfect fodder for Peake and her new company to bring to life in #Manchester

Steffen Rayburn-MaarupI read a book: Kay Dick's They (1977).
A forgotten gem, rediscovered and republished in the excellent Faber Editions series, this is classic 70s horror: hell is other people, in the style of Invasion of the Body Snatchers or Night of the Living Dead.
The book's "underappreciation" of art feels very timely ...
A creepy, quick read, nicely done.
