“A voice comes on the PA, making an announcement in English, though Maxine
is suddenly unable to understand a word. The sort of resonant voice in
which events are solemnly foretold, not at all a voice she would ever want
to be summoned by.”


       Reminiscent of Zoyd’s dream where he can’t read the signs even
though they are written in English.
The common element being deprivation of objects of affection?
