Beskrivelse
"a fascinating reflection on totalitarianism as refracted through Orwell's times and our own" The GuardianLondon, chief city of Airstrip One, the third most populous province of Oceania. It's 1984 and Julia Worthing works as a mechanic fixing the novel-writing machines in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. Under the ideology of IngSoc and the rule of the Party and its leader Big Brother, Julia is a model citizen - cheerfully cynical, believing in nothing and caring not at all about politics. She knows how to survive in a world of constant surveillance, Thought Police, Newspeak, Doublethink, child spies and the black markets of the prole neighbourhoods. She's very good at staying alive.But Julia becomes intrigued by a colleague from the Records Department - a mid-level worker of the Outer Party called Winston Smith, she comes to realise that she's losing her grip and can no longer safely navigate her world.Seventy-five years after Orwell finished writing his iconic novel, Sandra Newman has tackled the world of Big Brother in a truly convincing way, offering a dramatically different, feminist narrative that is true to and stands alongside the original. For the millions of readers who have been brought up with Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, here, finally, is a provocative, vital and utterly satisfying companion novel.

Selv om Orwell privat afgjort kunne være mandschauvinist, er der ikke belæg for at kalde Winston Smith i 1984 misogyn. Tværtimod åbner romanen for en kvindelig gentænkning, som Sandra Newman udfører i Julia. Her bliver Julias perspektiv ikke et opgør, men en udvidelse – et bevis på, at Orwells værk rummer mere end det mandlige blik. Stilheden omkring Julia er ikke lukket, men ladet med mulighed.

Det er virkelig en fantastisk bog, den giver så mange flere sider, underbygger og uddyber den original 1984. Oplæseren formår at drage en helt ind i sindet på Julia og give en et helt unikt og levende indblik i karakterernes hverdag

Velskrevet, spændende og meningsfuld udvidelse af det orwellske univers.
