I wanted to post this quote from Bothelford’s Gone. In this scene, Jack, a teenage British boy, visits a local abortion clinic:
Jack felt like he was visiting a foreign dictatorship with grey but clean streets, and that he had gone and entered the massive prison system that enabled those streets to remain clean in the first place. This clinic, Jack felt, was the place that ultimately made all the club nights in Bothelford possible, all the accidental products of one-night stands, marriages, and other sexual pairings, followed by more play, more partying, rather than an accounting of sorts. It was interesting in its own way. How would he put it if he had to give a presentation on it in class? The clinic was a secondary contraception in case the pills, condoms, and IUDs failed. The disintegrating sense of fun that the bars and nightclubs bred instead of children relied on the of this bland, hidden core. It was filled with unhappy people and, supposedly, a few rooms above, all kinds of surgical tools.
Edward McLaren, Bothelford’s Gone
Just so you are prepared, this is one of the lighter, less emotionally draining part of the novel. Not because there’s anything cute about the industrial-scale abortioneering it describes but because the rest is even harsher.

Since you expressed an interest in explicitly “right wing” fiction, the spring Based Book Sale is currently ongoing.
Thwo of the more ambitious is No-Man’s Land by Hoyt and Book of Feasts and Seasons by Wright.
The latter I recommend unreservedly, the former I am still thinking about.

I feel like a bad person for wanting, from this quote, to add this to the kids’ highschool reading list…

Honestly, it would be more useful than an enormous lot of what currently gets assigned.

Have you mentioned this novel before , probably as an example of right wing literature? Is it good?

I haven’t finished yet. It’s very powerful. I’m shattered by reading it. It’s taking a while because the subject matter is so painful.

Would love to read your review after you finish reading it.
Think many other readers would also be very interested.
Loved the writing style in the quoted excerpt.
