USA, ca 1985 En gruppe mutanter, "Folket", de uheldige stråleskadede efter radioaktiv bestråling, lever på et sted kaldet "Landet". Leda, Bartholomew, Alice, Ringer, Desdemona, Clotho og de andre omtaler hinanden som hankøn, selvom kønsorganerne som så meget andet er misdannede. De får af til et nyt kuld "unger" bragt ind udefra. Når disse er blevet myndige, former lægerne den og giver dem proteser, der passer til deres kroppe. Tit falder det sammen med at de bliver kønsmodne og oplever "Affekten". Det hele styres af "Fædrene", der fx giver ting navne. ??? Bogen er en underlig konstruktion. Hvem skulle finde på sådan en institution? Hvilke påvirkninger skulle skabe de misdannelser, der beskrives? Hvis man bare har en smule kendskab til biologi og genetik, falder hele bogens præmis til jorden. 1857 Conscience Place A Novel by Joyce Thompson (read 6 Jul 1984) This novel is an account of a colony of mutants who are invaded by the scientists who want to carry on experiments with them. Some of the sex scenes are gross and distasteful. The scheme is arbitrarily worked out--the mutants knew some things and not others, with little rational relationship. I, frankly, found the book uncomfortable to read and I am glad I am done reading it. näyttää 3/3 ei arvosteluja | lisää arvostelu

To the outside world, they are monsters. To themselves, they are simply the People. America has cast them out of sight, out of mind. But you will never forget them. Since 1984, Conscience Place has been published in seven languages and 12 editions. Thirty-five years later, it remains shockingly timely and deeply moving.The Library Journal said Conscience Place is: "A thought-provoking gem. A beautifully told story stark in its simplicity, timely in its dealing with the results of nuclear exposure, and universal in its treatment of humans' inhumanity to their fellows."Joyce Thompson was born and raised in Seattle. She is a graduate of Cornell University and the author of six published novels, two collections of short stories, and a memoir. Since 1994, she has worked as a technology product marketer.
