Christina Dalcher’s second novel, following her debut, Vox, is another dystopian, thriller fiction. In Q (known as Master Class in the U.S.), Christina Dalcher imagines an America in which perfection is the key to success. Terrifyingly plausible and thought-provoking, Dalcher’s Q draws on the history of Nazi Germany and the earlier work of American Eugenics, to examine the influence of prejudice and the issues of casting people and groups aside in the pursuit of perfection in the human race.
