Good stuff Felix with more titles for my list. I also enjoyed the political angle of your theorizing about dystopian literature and the triumph of tradition. The Goshawk premise sounds like a fairy tale, is that also true for the reading experience? Also humor goes a long way in resistance. I've read O'Brien's The Third Policeman with its wacky and shocking brilliance and originality. Is it on your list for analysis here? I've wondered, if any schema could pin it down, if it is a dream of Hell? Probably too pat, even as a dream murk. Meanwhile the world is changing too fast, we wobble, err, fall and have to grip the rug and it makes it hard to see what's pulling it. Then we see the rug has bits of traditions woven in it.
