Ladies From Hell
Keith Roberts
"Ladies from Hell"
contains five long stories. "The Shack at Great Cross Halt" describes a
Britain dominated by motorways, juggernauts and a tyranny, in which the
unfortunates of society eke out a miserable existence scavenging items
which fall of lorries. "The Ministry of Children" shows comprehensive
schools having become terrifying battlegrounds dominated by vicious
gangs. "The Big Fans" concerns an experiment in wind-powered electricity
which accidentally unleashes an apocalyptic storm of effects. "Our Lady
of Destruction" ironically depicts a future in which a Stalinist
British government taxes 'non-productive' people (i.e. artists) at over
100% an assigns them individual Overseers to regulate their work. And
"Missa Privata" shows an opera singer in a communist-dominated Britain
making a defiant individual gesture which will bring about her own ruin.
