From its rich descriptions of a city which cannot be placed in either time or space but which ignites our own imaginations as to its likely location, to its portrayal of a ‘happy’ populace of sophisticated people who ultimately exist to create a utopia of childlike joy for the price of misery by proxy this story delivers in a punchy yet thought provoking way as all good short stories do. A haunting insight into our own world where everything good has a price in misery paid elsewhere. To those spouting nonsense about this being pornographic or using it to validate their own narrow minded views of the world I would suggest that you stick to your fairy tale sky fairy books and leave the thinking to more open minded people.
