Untitled by Bethany C. Morrow7/7/2023 (There is an Author’s note at the end, explaining that racism certainly existed/exists in Canada. She is a young, Black socialite living in the high society of Canada. 1 is the extraction of a young, 19-year old Dolores. But in this version of the world, it’s possible to extract unwanted memories. Morrow is set in Montreal, Canada during the 1920s. This is an incredibly unique book and a joy to read. Maybe The Deep by Rivers Solomon et al, but only because the latter book also deals with memory and forgetting. I don’t think I’ve read anything like MEM. 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. 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.Īnd then there is Dolores Extract #1, the first Mem capable of creating her own memories. 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.
