It must be a sign of the times that a borderline-dystopic world is hard to tell apart from the “next big thing” incessantly pursued by capitalist bigwigs. Upon grasping the general concept of Joanne Ramos’s The Farm, that is being touted as one of the best debuts of the year, one of the first chilling reactions is the thought — “Doesn’t this already exist?” This blurred landscape, taken together with some very intriguing characters, is exactly what makes Ramos’s debut novel about the toxic remains of the American Dream so gripping.
