Once women are removed from public life and limited to 100 words a day under pain of harsh consequences, a former neurobiologist gets the opportunity to infiltrate the administration and restore the gender balance, with the help of her husband and her former research team.⠀ĭespite the interesting premise and my love of social justice fiction–I’m really not here for this book. Frankly, it’s a lot like The Handmaid’s Tale, only more contemporary and less religious–there’s even a scene in which a character is reading that book, so the homage is intentional. ![]() Vox is a dystopian novel in which, as a result of the above-described, women have been denied the right to words–written and spoken. ![]() ![]() ![]() Maybe today isn’t a good day to write about a dystopian novel in which hyper-conservative, racist, sexist ideals permeate the US, resulting in the election of a wannabe despot who encourages horribly oppressive policies necessitating an organized movement of diverse people working together to legitimately reclaim the country despite his last ditch efforts to destroy everything by literally engineering and weaponizing ignorance…⠀ ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() It also stated “We do not get involved in individual debates – or in disputes between authors” but that “we condemn any kind of racist, hate or unprofessional speech.” The union encouraged members to make a complaint if they are concerned about another author’s behaviour.

The email from the SoA emphasised that “Philip wrote his comments as an individual, not in the name of the Society of Authors”, and that “President is an honorary position only: he does not play any part in the governance of the SoA”. “Writers of colour (including children) and people of colour who are not writers (including children, again), your experiences and imaginations deserve every kind of respect” he added. Pullman has now tweeted an apology for the harm he caused, admitting that his tweet was a “mistake”. Authors of colour who criticised Clanchy, including Chimene Suleyman, Monisha Rajesh and Sunny Singh, went on to receive racist abuse from social media users. In a now deleted comment, made in response to a tweet he wrongly thought to be about Clanchy, he wrote that those who do not read a book before condemning it would “find a comfortable home in Isis or the Taliban”.

The second was when the real problem/bad guy finally got introduced and the relationship goes through its trial. The first was the relationship, building from reintroduction to crescendo. The next layers were the story, or should I say stories. This one is taken a bit further than is reasonable to me, but it’s done for the story, so I tried to let it go. As an accident-prone individual, I always read klutzy characters carefully. AND she also just happens to be an uber-powerful cupid whose power is triggered through all these little and not so little accidents. She’s the klutziest klutz to ever walk the earth. This basic fact is the base layer of the crazy cake that is this book.Īnother layer is the main character, Eliza.

All passengers remain accounted for-and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo's desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong… But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. At first, Lo's stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant.
