Setting 1996 on an endless loop in 2233 is a deft introduction of coexisting time periods, a central idea of the novel and one responsible for a thread of dizzying and delightful inversions, reversals and paradoxes.
Each tattoo is a portal to a story and each story is connected by the thread of the tattooists' talk, as they etch the thin, unifying line. Repression and women's resistance, control and community, violence and justice: each story reconfigures and recontextualises these elements in a different way.
