Yellow Pine by Claire Vaye Watkins review – messy portrait of protest subculture
By Sandra NewmanWatkins should have been the ideal writer for this sympathetic take on new age spirituality and desert eco-activism – but the results are confusing

Moving on to my next book, and it’s a version of 1984 from Julia’s point of view #Goodreads #ReadingChallenge #CurrentlyReading #Bibliophile #Bookworm #BookLovers #Julia #1984 #SandraNewman

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.

„1984“ von George Orwell jetzt als Hörspiel – spannend und packend! 🎧🔊 Hoffentlich gibt es bald auch das feministische Pendant als Hörspiel: „Julia“ von Sandra Newman.

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)

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...

@simoncampbell The original is a classic. I still need to read this one.

Has anyone read this one? I loved Orwell's classic and will have to bump this up on my tbr list.
“Newman hasn’t proved herself a worthy successor to Orwell; she’s outclassed him, both in knowledge of human nature and in character development. Julia should be the new required text on those high-school curricula, a stunning look into what happens when a person of strength faces the worst in humanity, as well as a perfect specimen of derivative art that, in standing on another’s shoulders, can reach a higher plane.” — Los Angeles Times
