The Cost of Memory and Abuse

 


Trust Exercise by Susan Choi is a novel whose particulars I would rather not get into too deeply, for if I do so it will ruin major plot points of the book.  This is certainly a worthy book to read, for as you read it, you realize that something is going on here that is not quite as it seems.  This novel is about how we tell stories, how we suppress painful memories, how we make excuses for men in power and their behavior toward women in those stories.  After reading this book, a good review of it might help answer some of the questions about its structure that Choi leaves unanswered.
