  1. What a change of perspective! The story of "1984" told by Julia and "Lolita" told by the now grown-up Dolores Haze instead of the paedophile Humbert Humbert.

    - "Julia: A Novel" by Sandra Newman (org. in English, translated into Dutch, German...)
    - "Bye Bye Lolita" by Lea Ruckpaul (German only)

    Trigger warning: "Julia" is like "1984" very dystopian. "Bye bye Lolita" contains details of sexual abuse.

  2. I am reading the book "Julia" by Sandra Newman

    "Julia is a bold feminist retelling of Nineteen Eighty-Four that goes beyond Winston Smith's story to finally reveal what life in Oceania was like for women."

    (In het Nederlands bij de "De Bezige Bij" verschenen en vertaald door Frank Lekens en Rob Kuitenbrouwer)

  3. So, years ago, I had toyed around with attempting to write Julia's story. My version was a bit far-fetched and involved elements of #DavidBowie's #DiamondDogs (Bowie's retelling of #NineteenEightyFour). Anyhow, I ended up working on other projects, but I'm glad to see someone wrote Julia's story. Curious to see how much it matches up with what I gleaned from fixating on #Orwell's version, as well as various retellings...
