I dreamed that I had a cache of diamond nose-pins I needed to sneak past customs for the revolution and also that I had come by all those diamonds illicitly.
So I took a second look.
I'm watching The Testaments (The Handmaid's Tale sequel) on TV, reading Julia (based on 1984), and just finished The Secret Agent (not the Conrad novel--it's last year's intentionally disjointed film about incidents under Brazilian dictatorship in the 70s)...
Aaaaand I live in the right now, so it's not surprising, I guess, that my dreams would take a dark turn.

I've avoided The Handmaid's Tale and its sequel assiduously. Too much for me, living "in the right now."
Like Nance, I avoided The Handmaid’s Tale. Then it felt safe for a while and I dove in. I loved it, so well done, also The Testaments. SO different in plot than the book, but similar in mood, right?
Noah and I recently finished The Testaments (book re-read and then tv show) and my book club read Julia in May (and The Secret Agent many years ago). We are in sync.
