“The Giraffe’s neck” by Judith Schalansky
“It’s not worth it for the simple, the Weak, dragging. They were just Ballast, the progression, and the other disabled. Born To Be A Repeat Offender. Parasites on the healthy body of the Class. Sooner or later, which would remain under-exposed anyway. It was recommended to confront them with the truth as early as possible.”

Their biological ‘truths’ are no longer effective, and neither is the political. Judith Schalansky designs the psycho-gram of a morally questionable woman, without you present or to justify. How is it still the Human behind the social dreariness of flash, this is the appeal of your novel.
