Christina Dalcher

    Christina Dalcher is een auteur wiens werk diep ingaat op de verkenning van taal en de maatschappelijke impact ervan. Haar literaire interesses vloeien voort uit uitgebreide studies in de theoretische linguïstiek, waar ze zich concentreerde op fonetiek en de evolutie van klankveranderingen in verschillende dialecten. Deze academische basis doordringt haar schrijven en biedt een uniek perspectief op hoe woorden en hun structuren onze gedachten en interacties vormgeven. Door haar verhalen onderzoekt Dalcher fascinerende vragen over de kracht van taal en de invloed ervan op individuele vrijheid en collectieve identiteit.

    • "Elena Fairchild is a teacher at one of the state's new elite schools. Her daughters are exactly like her: beautiful, ambitious, and perfect. A good thing, since the recent mandate that's swept the country is all about perfection. Now everyone must undergo routine tests for their quotient, Q, and any children who don't measure up are placed into new government schools. Instead, teachers can focus on the gifted. Elena tells herself it's not about eugenics, not really, but when one of her daughter's scores lower than expected and is taken away, she intentionally fails her own test to go with her. But what Elena discovers is far more terrifying than she ever imagined."--Publisher.
