it is best to read this book as if you have never heard of it before

After some reflections I think it is best to read this without all articles about this book and “feminist” dystopian fiction at the forefront of your mind. Not that this isn’t feminist, it is, but for myself, having too prior knowledge of book that has been filtered through theory prevents me from an authentic reading experience. When I ignore the marketing, I see its strengths more easily.

I don't like it and I regret not listening to my instinct. I forget that I know myself well.
