Buzzfeed's #1 Book to Read this Spring A Best Book of the Month at
The Washington Post, Bustle, and Chicago Review of Books MEM is a
rare novel, a small book carrying very big ideas, the kind of story
that stays with you long after you've finished reading it. Set in
the glittering art deco world of a century ago, MEM makes one
slight alteration to history: a scientist in Montreal discovers a
method allowing people to have their memories extracted from their
minds, whole and complete. The Mems exist as mirror-images of their
source - zombie-like creatures destined to experience that singular
memory over and over, until they expire in the cavernous Vault
where they are kept. And then there is Dolores Extract #1, the
first Mem capable of creating her own memories. An ageless beauty
shrouded in mystery, she is allowed to live on her own, and create
her own existence, until one day she is summoned back to the Vault.
What happens next is a gorgeously rendered, heart-breaking novel in
the vein of Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. Debut novelist
Bethany Morrow has created an allegory for our own time, exploring
profound questions of ownership, and how they relate to identity,
memory and history, all in the shadows of Montreal's now forgotten
slave trade.
