The Plotinus

A captivating allegorical tale about tyranny, conviction, and the remarkable power of human endurance. Upon setting out for a morning walk with his knobby stick in hand, a young man is arrested by a robot called the Plotinus and abandoned in a cell where one beam of sunlight slides through an air duct. Singular memories and fantastical encounters interrupt the spartan isolation of his imprisonment, and the line between fantasy and dystopian reality blurs. Rikki Ducornet delivers another unforgettable story illuminated by her hallmark wit, stylistic dexterity, philosophical acumen, and warmheartedness.
