The Blinds by Adam Sternbergh7/7/2023 ![]() ![]() What happens when 48 of the nation’s most notorious criminals who remember their criminality but not their crimes are nudged out of their comfort zone? Liaison officers are coming in to investigate, and the outside world is clashing with the closed-off Caesura community. But eight years after its inception, the experiment may be falling apart. ![]() 100 miles from civilization, with only a weekly supply truck and a police-use fax machine for contact with the outside world, Caesura has been constructed specifically for this experiment. 48 convicted criminals have signed on to have their past crimes and traumas wiped from their memories so that they can live in the “safe” environment of Caesura, under new names. The prospect of futuristic cowboys threw me off, but Sheriff Calvin Cooper does not disappoint– considering he’s one of the biggest criminals in town.Ībout the book: Caesura, Texas– aka The Blinds– is an experiment. ![]() It’s described as a speculative Western thriller, which sounded both chaotically fun but also a bit wackier than my normal reading material. When I came came across Adam Sternbergh’s new release, The Blinds (via BOTM), I was hesitant. ![]()
