In a Perfect World

The world Kasischke creates feels disturbingly plausible. I'm curious whether she envisioned this world from the start or it evolved during writing.

The characters' struggles with identity and societal expectations resonated deeply, but also made me wonder how much of that is a reflection of real-world issues today.

Her prose feels precise yet unsettling at times. I'm interested in how her stylistic choices heighten the dystopian mood and emotional impact.
