Podcast appearances and mentions of christina dalcher

Sixteen-year-old Odile is an awkward, quiet girl vying for a coveted seat on the Conseil. If she earns the position, she'll decide who may cross her town's heavily guarded borders. On the other side, it's the same valley, the same town. Except to the east, the town is twenty years ahead in time. To the west, it's twenty years behind. The towns repeat in an endless sequence across the wilderness. When Odile recognizes two visitors she wasn't supposed to see, she realizes that the parents of her friend Edme have been escorted across the border from the future, on a mourning tour, to view their son while he's still alive in Odile's present. Edme--who is brilliant, funny, and the only person to truly see Odile--is about to die. Sworn to secrecy in order to preserve the timeline, Odile now becomes the Conseil's top candidate. Yet she finds herself drawing closer to the doomed boy, imperiling her entire future. A breathlessly moving "unique take on the intersection of fate and free will" (Nikki Erlick, author of The Measure), The Other Valley (Astria Books, 2024) is "a stellar debut, full of heartbreak and hope wrapped up in gorgeous prose" (Christina Dalcher, author of Vox). Scott Alexander Howard lives in Vancouver, British Columbia. He has a PhD in philosophy from the University of Toronto and was a postdoctoral fellow at Harvard, where his work focused on the relationship between memory, emotion, and literature. The Other Valley is his first novel. Jan Zwicky, The Long Walk Morgan Talty, Fire Exit Lily Wang, Silver Repetition Chris Holmes is Chair of Literatures in English and Associate Professor at Ithaca College. He writes criticism on contemporary global literatures. His book, Kazuo Ishiguro Against World Literature, is under contract with Bloomsbury Publishing. He is the co-director of The New Voices Festival, a celebration of work in poetry, prose, and playwriting by up-and-coming young writers. Learn more about your ad choices.

On today's show, Cheryl Taylor discusses whether people are prematurely aging and losing their hair because of processed foods, along with answering viewers' questions about hair, scalp, and skin care. Later, Christina Dalcher discusses convicted killer and former nurse Lucy Letby's new appeal and the divided opinions surrounding her case ("she's innocent - release her" vs. "she's guilty - let her swing"). Christina's new book, "Sentence," is relevant to Letby's case because it tackles the issue of certainty when calling for the death penalty. GUEST 1 OVERVIEW: Cheryl Taylor is a Trichologist, Head, Scalp, and Face Specialist, and ex-Harley Street Expert. GUEST 2 OVERVIEW: Christina Dalcher is a Sunday Times bestselling author who earned her doctorate in theoretical linguistics from Georgetown University. She and her husband split their time between the American South and Naples, Italy. Her new book, "Sentence," is about to be published by HarperCollins.

Einhundert Wörter am Tag – so viel dürfen die Frauen in Christina Dalchers Roman "Vox" sprechen. Andere Dinge wie Arbeit oder freie Entfaltung sind ihnen auch verboten. Klingt nach dem Leben der Frauen in Afghanistan, ist aber die USA des 21. Jahrhunderts. #Patriarchat #Unterdrückung #Kontrolle #Empowerment #Feminismus**********Den Artikel zum Stück findet ihr hier.**********Ihr könnt uns auch auf diesen Kanälen folgen: Tiktok und Instagram.

Kim and Jen give an honest review of Vox by Christina Dalcher. The premise is fascinating, but then things changed. But, what if you could only speak 100 words a day? On the day the government decrees that women are no longer allowed more than one hundred words per day, Dr. Jean McClellan is in denial. This can't happen here. Not in America. Not to her.Soon women are not permitted to hold jobs. Girls are not taught to read or write. Females no longer have a voice. Before, the average person spoke sixteen thousand words each day, but now women have only one hundred to make themselves heard.For herself, her daughter, and every woman silenced, Jean will reclaim her voice.This is just the beginning...not the end.https://www.amazon.com/Vox-Christina-Dalcher/dp/0440000785Twisted Teachers Podcast wants to hear from you!Website-Twistedteacherspodcast.comLINKTREE :https://linktr.ee/twistedteacherContact us via email: Twistedteachers2@gmail.comInstagram: @twisted__teacher; @inked_educator68; @escaping_educationTik Tok: @inkededucator @escape_educationFacebook: @TwistedTeacherLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifersquireroberts

As the author of 3 bestselling dystopian novels with strong female characters, Christina Dalcher is often painted as a feminist. There are so many more layers to this linguist-now-author. While her first novel, Vox, brought the issue of silencing women to the table, her latest, Femlandia, examines life in broken-down world, where women are building colonies and not everything is as idyllic as it appears.

Nad ei tohi kasutada oma häält, neil ei tohi olla oma arvamust ja vabadust. Kuidas teha end kuuldavaks ja muuta maailma, kui on luba lausuda vaid sada sõna ööpäevas?

Voor deze aflevering is geen gastin uitgenodigd, maar Susannah geeft haar tips voor boek, beeld, geluid en algeheel inspirerende vrouwen, met aan het eind nog een paar shoot-outs naar gave wijven die haar leven onlangs nog een beetje beter hebben gemaakt. Het boek 'VOX' van Christina Dalcher is te koop bij de grote online boekhandels en de kleine boekhandel bij jou om de hoek die zijn stinkende best doet om te overleven. 'Britanny runs a marathon' kun je zien op Amazon Prime als je daar een abonnement op hebt, in een bioscoop als die een gave programmeur heeft of eventueel door te zoeken in de donkere krochten van het internet, maar daar weet ik verder niks van. Tanya Tucker is veelvuldig te vinden op Spotify en in je platenzaak. Iskra Lawrence is op Instagram te vinden als @iskra, en daar vind je ook linkjes naar haar andere activiteiten; Ashley Graham is op Instagram @ashleygraham en haar podcast heet Pretty Big Deal. Ik noem ook Kira Stokes (@kirastokesfit); zij heeft ook een heel fijne app, die heet 'Kira Stokes' met als byline 'Get stoked on the go' en met 'stoked' wordt kennelijk bedoeld 'pijn aan je kont', maar het zijn fijne oefeningen. De verschillende vrouwen die in deze podcast hebben opgetreden kun je vinden in, je raadt het al, deze podcast - en by de shownotes van hun afleveringen staan ook hun gegevens. Tot het volgende seizoen!

16/11/2019: At the next Emirates Litfest in Feb 2020, the dazzling yet sinister actions of the assassin Villanelle in Killing Eve, the serial killer in Linwood Barclay’s Elevator Pitch and the more insidious crimes in Christina Dalcher’s bestselling Vox, are offset by the inspiring and uplifting memoirs of the ‘Muslim Mother Theresa’ Edna Adan Ismail and champion for girls’ education and gender equality, Ziauddin Yousafzai. Alex Broun, Tamreez Inam and Flora Rees give their top recommendations about who they can’t wait to see next year.

Passend zum Herbst startet die neue Folge von „Uphören mit Mieze“ heiter, wird in der Mitte melancholisch und endet düster: Den Anfang macht Thomas Hermanns mit seinem auch als Hörbuch erschienenen Buch „Netter is better“. Als Rheinländer kann Ralf diesem Motto durchaus zustimmen, solange man nicht übertreibt. „Comedian“ Hermanns zeigt, dass Leichtigkeit nicht nur ein ernstes Geschäft ist, sondern Nettigkeit in Zeiten von Hass im Netz eine politische Dimension haben kann. Dem Powerteam Mieze und Ralf begegnet in „Römische Tage“ ein ebensolches aus Autor Simon Strauss und Sprecher Jens Harzer. Dessen Stimmkunst lässt das Buch „Römische Tage“ zu einer melancholischen Jazzplatte werden. Harzers Sprachfluss versöhnt Ralf wieder mit dieser Collage aus Eindrücken eines jungen Autoren, der in die ewige Stadt flieht und in die Straßen, Geschichten und Menschen ab- und eintaucht. Es sind die Orte der Bücher und Filme, die Simon Strauss da schildert, mit kleinen „Klicks“ in die Moderne, nicht so sehr die dreckigen Plätze und chaotischen Lebenswirklichkeiten der heutigen Realität. Es bleibt also magisch und melancholisch. Bevor wir in „Backstage“ erfahren, wie aus einem rechteckigen Buchcover die quadratische Hörbuch-Vignette der Internet-Plafformen wird, wechseln Mieze und Ralf noch ins Düstere. Die Dystopie „Vox“ von Christina Dalcher spielt in einem entfernten Amerika des 21. Jahrhunderts, wo es Frauen nur noch erlaubt wird, 100 Worte am Tag zu benutzen. Hauptfigur Jean wird sich dagegen auflehnen und das System unterwandern. Sie ist es auch, die die unterschiedlichen, komplexen Handlungsstränge zusammenhält. Mieze ist schockverliebt und Ralf positiv beeindruckt von Dalchers Debütroman. Was nicht zuletzt an Sprecherin Andrea Sawatzki liegt, die so sehr mit der Geschichte verschmilzt, dass man sie glatt vergessen kann und die es schafft, der Sprachlosigkeit eine Stimme zu geben. Ob man dieses Hörbuch nun als feministische Literatur wahrnimmt oder als generelle Erinnerung, dass Sprache uns die Menschlichkeit schenkt und gleichzeitig ein Werkzeug zur Unterdrückung sein kann – „Uphören mit Mieze“ empfiehlt „Vox“ aus voller Überzeugung.

Amanda and Jenn discuss good “relationship reads,” Asian authors, classic retellings, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by the Read Harder Journal, But That’s Another Story podcast and Life, Death, and Cellos by Isabel Rogers. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, or Stitcher.   Questions 1. Hi! So I’m a part of this book club and we are in need of a new book. All the members of our book club are recent college grads and have just entered adulthood. Most of us have just moved to a new city and are in the process of finding our place, launching our careers and figuring out what we want to do with our lives. Collectively we often feel a sense of ‘being lost’. There are so many options in this world and decisions we need to make and those choices can be overwhelming. We would love to read a book that resonates with the struggles, excitement and growing pains of the season we are currently experiencing. We also would love to read something that can serve as a source of hope for us-hope that we will figure out how to approach this season and who we want to be in this world. Also, we prefer to read novels. Thank you so much! –Emily   2. Hi! In the last month, I have been reading If We Had Known by Elise Juska, Vox by Christina Dalcher, The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang, and Red Clocks by Leni Zumas. I didn’t set out to read books surrounding heavy and/or politically-charged issues, and I generally wouldn’t characterize my reading life as trigger warning heavy. However, I really enjoyed reading these books that aren’t strictly reality but are still very real and can help me think through real and pressing issues. Can you recommend more novels like these? Please no white male authors because its 2019 and I’m tired of hearing men talk—thanks! –Tally   3. I’m looking for a book I can listen to on audio with my husband. We have listened to A Walk in the Woods, Ender’s Game, the King Killer Chronicles, The Expanse series etc. He is a history buff who loves fantasy, classic adventure literature (like the Count of Monte Christo) and long history books like The history of Salt, Heart of the Sea, McCullogh presidential biographies etc. I am an ex-English major. Recently on audiobook I have enjoyed Spinning Silver, A Long Way Down by Jason Reynolds, My Lady Jane, Becoming by Michelle Obama and The Winter Garden by Kristen Hannah. I love your weekly recs! Thanks in advance. –Sarah   4. Hello, book friends! And help! I just finished a reread of Kristin Cashore’s trilogy (Graceling, Fire, and Bitterblue) and now I’m flailing around at just how great they are, and how I’ve never read anything that feels quite like them. I love how the characters take care of each other. I love the characters! They’re very likeable people, and I also love how practical they are. I like how these books are books with romance in them rather than books about romance. Same for the magic–it’s mostly very low key, but is still unique and interesting. I am so desperate to find other books that feel the same way these do! They don’t have to be YA, though I would prefer sticking to secondary fantasy worlds. Extra super special brownie points if the main character is queer! THANK YOU! –A   5. Hi Jenn and Amanda, Thank you for this amazing podcast and all the recommendations that you make. One of my main reading goals this year is to continue reading more diversely and as part of that I want to read fewer American authors. American authors always end up making a big chunk of my reading and I am trying to change that to broaden my perspective. So, could you please recommend any books by Asian female authors? No Asian-American ones as I feel that would still be cheating. I have read the more popular authors like Arundhati Roy, Han Kang, Celeste Ng, Mira Jacob, Jhumpa Lahiri, Kamila Shamsie etc. I read all kinds of genres, fiction or non-fiction, and would love to hear your recommendations. Thanks a lot! –Nikhila   6. Hi, looking for some books I could give my sister. She reads mostly fiction, mixing classics and modern picks. Some favourites of hers include Pride & Prejudice, Wuthering Heights, Jane Eyre, His Dark Materials, The Book Thief, The Last Runaways. This year she loved Naomi Novik’s Uprooted and Spinning Silver and Eleanor Catton’s The Luminaries. I gave her Hannah Kent’s Burial Rites and she really liked it but found it hard because of how sad it is. I keep thinking of and giving her books I think she will love but they are often pretty bleak, and she would love some less depressing books to throw in the mix (I gave her Ferrante, her best friend gave her A Little Life, she will need something in between) They don’t have to be all light and fluffy but at least a happy ending would be great. Thank you! I love the show, you have made my tbr almost impossible, which is the best problem to have.   7. I’m looking for a fun book to listen to on audio with my husband on a roadtrip. The problem is that we have quite different interests–I love literary fiction and popular fiction: Crazy Rich Asians, Outlander, The Goldfinch, The Marrying of Chani Kaufman. He mostly reads nonfiction–Stephen Pinker, books on objectivism, and comparative religions. Some books we’ve listened to together and liked are The Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri, Shroud for a Nightingale by P.D. James, and The Martian by Andy Weir. I know this is kind of a tough one, so thanks in advance! You guys are awesome. –Aaryn   Books Discussed Upstream by Mary Oliver Becoming by Michelle Obama Startup by Doree Shafrir (rec’d by Rebecca) Chemistry by Weike Wang (tw: family emotional abuse) Tiny Beautiful Things by Cheryl Strayed Book of Unknown Americans by Cristina Henriquez How Long Til Black Future Month by NK Jemisin The Silence of the Girls by Pat Barker (tw: rape, gendered violence) On Such a Full Sea by Chang-Rae Lee (narrated by BD Wong) The Queen’s Thief series by Megan Whalen Turner Witchmark by CL Polk The Good Women of China by Xinran, trans.

Episode 12 comes to you this week. And we’re here to talk TBR. The specifics of what drives us to choose the next book off the stack! You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: a group of online readers that saves the day and all about audiobook “stories.” Next, we tackle what we are currently reading: some Capital W-Weird picks, some non-fiction, some YA. We’ve got a little taste of everything. We take a mini-deep dive this week into the topic of TBR lists. How do readers in general choose what is To Be Read next? How do we, specifically, choose what to slot into that coveted position? As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands. This week we have a perfect Christmas gift idea (and some wonderful accompaniments) as well as a beloved curmudgeon book for almost every reader on your list.

This week's news has galvanized a new wave of conversations about what's at stake in the political landscape. We discuss the situation surrounding Jamal Khashoggi's death and The New York Times article questioning the place of nuance in our modern culture. Considering our whole deal is nuance, we have an extended conversation about what nuance and moderation mean to us and how power dynamics matter as a part of that conversation. Then, we share Beth's conversation with author Christina Dalcher who wrote Vox, a novel about women's voices being taken away - literally. They talk about how feminism and modern politics did and did not influence Dalcher's work. Recommended Resources: Does This Moment in History Call for More ‘Nuance,’ or Less?

Fall is the season that every reader is primed to anticipate. While we're a little sad to say goodbye to Summer, all the great books that are lined up for release in Fall 2018 are here to console us. In this podcast Gayle and Nicole start the discussions about blockbuster releases, new offerings from famed authors, and the books they are most looking forward to delving into over the next few months.

On today's episode, Adam is joined by Christina Dalcher whose debut novel VOX is getting all sorts of buzz. This dystopian story draws comparisons to The Handmaid's Tale with it's disturbing setting and the future it portrays where women are only allowed to speak 100 words per day. Christina has spent her life studying linguistics and the importance of language and we dig into how this played into her novel. 

There is a fair amount of whine in this podcast. Nicole can't get into Circe, Gayle is tired of sociopath husbands. Are all of the books victim porn or female revenge fantasies? There a lot of bad man books. Gayle's big book purge. We briefly revisit Gayle's love of inappropriate relationships. Also, all the books have floral covers.

We explore the unhealthy nature of modern life with Haig in Notes on a Nervous Planet, while Dalcher talks about her thriller Vox

Andre Holland is perhaps best known for his role as Kevin, the chef (and love interest) in the Oscar winning film Moonlight. Now he is in Britain playing Othello at Shakespeare's Globe in a production also featuring Mark Rylance as Iago. He tells Kirsty Lang how, unlikely as it might seem, his southern American accent fits the iambic pentameter of Shakespeare's lines perfectly. The arrival of artists in rundown areas invariably signals that gentrification is on its way with those very same artists, as well as other locals, eventually getting priced out. London is where this process seems to happen fastest but it's also in London that new housing models for artists are being explored. Hadrian Garrad, director of Create London, and Marcel Baettig, artist, founder and chief executive officer of Bow Arts, discuss the work involved in providing affordable homes for artists.Women Invent the Future is a new anthology of science fiction short stories by and about women. One of the authors, Molly Flatt, discusses re-imagining the future from a feminist perspective with Christina Dalcher, whose new novel Vox is set in a dystopian world where women's voices are strictly limited. And how on this day, 25th July, in 1965 music changed. Presenter: Kirsty Lang Producer: Julian May.
