    Summary

    Margaret Atwood's 2003 sci-fi/apocalypse novel Oryx and Crake often feels like a disfavored child living in the shadow of its nearly two-decades-older, televised, and widely celebrated sister, The Handmaid's Tale, which gained popularity as a sort of cautionary tale against women of her class (mostly white, Western, straight, able-bodied, and middle-class) remaining uncritical of the rapidly changing world around them. Though not written from a woman's point of view, the tragedies depicted in Oryx and Crake are nonetheless rooted in a society similarly perverted by patriarchy and capitalism, the effects of which mirror the real-life loneliness epidemic seen among today's young people, especially today's uncritical and lonely young men.

    Summary

    Even before he played his first NHL game, Ilya expected his career would involve bearing the brunt of some dislike. Hockey was entertainment, a spectacle; somebody had to play the heel. He didn’t mind that. He didn’t expect people to dislike Hollander.

    Summary

    Everything Shane has ever done has resulted in something else. People would call that karma, or physics, but Shane knows better. There are moments he’s sure he has the ability to control everything with a right or wrong thought. And there are moments of clarity where he knows this isn’t true.

    Summary

    It’s in the middle of scanning the last bottle of green tea that Itadori properly looks up. Eye contact with him is a physical, unexpected shock, a crunch of imaginary static snapping through Megumi and leaving his hands twitching at his sides.

    "Hey." Itadori blinks, wide and earnest. "Do I know you from somewhere?"

    The tea sloshes backwards in the bottle he’s holding. Megumi focuses on this until his vision steadies.

    "No," he says. "I don’t think so."

    In the aftermath, Itadori loses his memories instead of his life. Megumi grieves nonetheless.
