Popis knihy

PRAISE FOR VOX Christina Dalcher's debut novel, set in a recognizable near future and sure to beg comparisons to Margaret Atwood's dystopian The Handmaid's Tale, asks: if the number of words you could speak each day was suddenly and severely limited, what would you do to be heard? A novel ripe for the era of #MeToo, VOX (Berkley) presents an exaggerated scenario of women lacking a voice: in the United States, they are subject to a hundred-word limit per day (on average, a human utters about 16,000). Considering the threat of a society in which children like the protagonist's six-year-old daughter are deprived of language, VOX highlights the urgency of movements like #MeToo, but also of the basic importance of language.-Vanity Fair The females in Dalcher's electrifying debut are permitted to speak just 100 words a day-and that's especially difficult for the novel's protagonist, Jean, a neurolinguist. A futurist thriller that feels uncomfortably plausible.-O, Oprah Magazine In Christina Dalcher's Vox, women are only allowed to speak 100 words a day. Sounds pretty sci-fi, but the real-life parallels will make you shiver.-Cosmpolitan Vox is a real page-turner that will appeal to people with big imaginations.-Refinery29 Fittingly, this book about women being silenced has got everybody talking and calling it The Handmaid's Tale for 2018.-Bustle VOX is intelligent, suspenseful, provocative, and intensely disturbing-everything a great novel should be.-Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author Chilling and gripping-a real page-turner.-Karen Cleveland, New York Times bestselling author of Need to Know A bold, brilliant, and unforgettable debut.-Alice Feeney, author of Sometimes I Lie With language crystalline and gleaming, and a narrative that really moves, Christina Dalcher both cautions and captivates. The names that come to mind are Margaret Atwood, George Orwell, and Aldous Huxley-had Orwell and Huxley had a taste of the information age. VOX is a book for the dystopic present. It woke me up.-Melissa Broder, author of The Pisces [A] provocative debut...Dalcher's novel carries an undeniably powerful message.-Publishers Weekly A petrifying re-imagining of The Handmaid's Tale in the present and a timely reminder of the power and importance of language.-Marta Bausells, ELLE UK This book will blow your mind. The Handmaid's Tale meets Only Ever Yours meets The Power.-Nina Pottell, Prima
