Buchzusammenfassung zum «Vox» Christina Dalcher
In Christina Dalcher’s dystopian novel „Vox“, the United States is ruled by the „Pure Movement,“ a conservative, religious, and authoritarian regime that has stripped women of their rights and freedoms. Women are only allowed to speak 100 words per day, and are forbidden from reading, writing, or holding jobs. Dr. Jean McClellan, a former cognitive linguist, is among the millions of women affected by this new law.
One day, however, Jean is offered an opportunity to regain her voice: the President’s brother has suffered a severe brain injury, and Jean’s expertise is required to restore his ability to communicate. But as she delves deeper into the case, Jean discovers a sinister plot that could lead to the downfall of the regime and the reclamation of women’s rights. With the help of her former colleagues, her husband, and her young daughter, Jean embarks on a dangerous journey to save herself and her fellow women from a life of oppression.
Through Jean’s eyes, the reader witnesses the horror and frustration of being unable to express oneself freely, and the psychological toll it takes on individuals and society as a whole. „Vox“ is a gripping and thought-provoking novel that raises important questions about gender, power, and the value of language, and will leave readers both disturbed and inspired.
