I read I Who Have Never Known Men a few years ago, and it left me unsettled but deeply reflective. Harpman’s exploration of isolation and humanity’s fragility hit hard—there’s something haunting about how she strips away all the societal constructs and forces you to confront what’s left of identity and survival. It made me rethink what truly defines us.

Yes absolutely! There’s another book that’s similar on your last point—The Memory Police.
