Omschrijving
Everyone must submit medical data and sleep records to the authorities on a monthly basis, and regular exercise is mandatory.
Mia is young and beautiful, a successful scientist who is outwardly obedient but with an intellect that marks her as subversive.
This is a brilliant, disturbing and wildly imaginative picture of the nanny state run mad; how far should the State be allowed to poke its nose into a citizen's business?
Zeh seems to have won every European literary prize going...Three years since its first publication in German (it is translated here with tremendous gusto by Sally-Ann Spencer), Zeh’s novel is even more relevant to our over-structure, over-quantified times.
An impressively plausible account of a conformist society disguised as a utopia
In Sally-Ann Spencer's superb translation from German, Juli Zeh's novel gives form to a dystopia that remains hauntingly recognizable
Thoughtful and intelligent...her main character Mia is an intellectual heroine as much as a physical rebel.
Juli Zeh was born in 1974 and lives in Brandenburg. She studied International Law, worked with the UN in New York, and completed her studies in Creative Writing. Juli Zeh has won numerous awards, including the international Per Olov Enquist Award and the French Prix Cévennes for Best European Novel. Her work has been translated into thirty languages.
