About This Book

A state executioner assigned to public punishments confronts a condemned young woman and is driven into vivid flashbacks of a past intimacy, folding childhood scenes and youthful rebellion into the present duty. Set in a society of regulated sanity that uses brain scanners, proctors, and a ritualized Arena, the narrative alternates procedural detail with personal memory to probe the uneasy coexistence of civic order and private feeling, the executioner's complicity in punishment, and how desire and recollection persist under an intrusive social system.
