![]() I found myself idly wondering whether Kurt Vonnegut was intentionally parodying Anthem when he wrote “Harrison Bergeron.” I don't know the publication dates of the respective tales well enough to say. ![]() Certainly our hero seems convinced of this. One gets the sense that his children will Change Society and end the evils of socialism forevermore. So naturally our protagonist discovers his individuality, and rebels. Everything is mandated by the state for the good of all. Society is uber collective, with no individuality being tolerated. I suspect that I wouldn't care for it, and that supposition is largely borne out by this graphic novel adaptation of her work. ![]() ![]() I know her work purely by reputation and cultural osmosis.

The resulting novel is wonderfully baffling, and as lush, warm, and conflicted as Hanna herself. Reeves immediately establishes a mysterious, disorienting perspective by allowing Hanna (who hallucinates conversations with her father but, as far as the reader is permitted to know, can also conjure up a swan whose actions impact the actual world) to be the only narrative voice describing the town of Portero and Hanna’s efforts to settle into it. Since Hanna has nowhere else to go, her mother agrees to let her stay, if she can prove that she can fit into this guarded, hostile town that considers outsiders merely fresh meat for monsters.
