Comment"Two strangers appear in a small country town, unable to speak about the trauma they have fled from. At first they are welcomed but soon hospitality shifts to suspicion, fear, and appalling cruelty.
Lloyd Jones’s fable-like novel The Cage is a profound and unsettling novel about humanity and dignity and the ease with which we’re able to justify brutality. "
