Virginia Feito's 'Victorian Psycho' presents Winifred, a governess, who struggles with the 'Darkness' she perceives in herself and her employer. Amidst moral lessons, she encounters defiance and vice among the children. The narrative's somber yet sparkling tone invites reflection on human interactions and morality. Canisia Lubrin's 'Code Noir' is a collection weaving together stories of loss and the impact of oppressive historical laws. Through stylistic experimentation, it evokes complex themes of violence and the systemic injustice in society, leaving readers disoriented yet contemplative about the past's haunting presence.
Winifred reflects on the human capacity for harm, suggesting that while people can deeply wound each other, they often exercise restraint.
Lubrin's work exposes the historical injustices of law, arguing that those who create laws are often the true perpetrators of violence.
