5/25/2023 0 Comments Ink sabrina vourvoulias pdfAbbie is the daughter of a woman organizing the new internment camps for "inks" and Del is part of a local business that hires temporary workers. While the novel opens with a focus on Finn the reporter and his informant-turned-lover Mari, it continues expanding into four point-of-view characters each occupying a different role in not only the story but in the world. Throughout the novel, Mari's jaguar "twin" washes over her features at times and guides her when the world is too much. What separates it from other near-future dystopias (if we can even call it that considering the current political climate) is the "magic" based on Latin American history. Written in a noir style (though rising to lyricism throughout), it's hard not to imagine this book in classic black and white. Ink follows Finn, a reporter for a struggling newspaper as he works (and falls in love with) an informant named Mari. Imagine a world where a tattoo determines your citizen status.
