Di me non sai

Lucio falls in love with "the boy" even before meeting him: just watching him from the window of his office is enough for him to become almost obsessed. When they finally meet, he discovers that Davide is much younger than him (still studying), and that he is elusive, unreliable, and "cruel" in the way only twenty-year-olds can be cruel.

For two months, Lucio and Davide have dinner together, have sex, go to the beach, and often sleep at Lucio's place. However, Davide does not fall in love. He continues to seek Lorenzo, the only man he (perhaps) truly loved, of whom he keeps only a pixelated photo on an old cellphone. Like many twenty-year-olds, he is also confused, wounded, and willing to nestle into the routine of always having a Coca-Cola ready for him in the refrigerator.

"Di me non sai" tells the story of a relationship lived in an opposite, incompatible way, whose nature is revealed to the reader only as the novel progresses. Alternating the perspectives of the two protagonists in short, sometimes very short chapters, Raffaele Cataldo shows the misalignment of feelings and the painful consequences it can have, the slow pace of hot Apulian summers, and the obsessive loves (present and absent) that, like wild oat seeds, cling to hair, shoes, and clothes.

Het begin en zijn oneindigheid

Op hoge leeftijd is Marcel met een depressie in een psychiatrisch ziekenhuis beland, waar zijn kleindochter jaren eerder ook verbleef, op de afdeling eetstoornissen. Ze komt hem dikwijls opzoeken en bespreekt haar vragen in een radiodocumentaire. In hoeverre kies je zelf wie je bent? Wat is een Verward Persoon? Hoe erfelijk is ontregeling, en wat is de oorzaak ervan? Wanneer begint herstel en belangrijker, wanneer eindigt het? Corinne Heyrman vertelt het verhaal van de grootvader, zijn kleindochter, familieleden en andere patiënten in het ziekenhuis, waarmee ze de complexiteit en de vele gezichtspunten van psychische kwetsbaarheid vol verbeeldingskracht en inlevingsvermogen ontleedt.

De stem van Sulina

Een lyrische roman over de geboorte van een moeder, zwervende zielen en de ziel van het zwerven, geschreven met de stuwende kracht van een wereldrivier.

Terwijl een donkere schaduw over de weerkaarten van Midden-Europa glijdt, reist een vrouw in een busje langs de oevers van de Donau, van de bron in het Zwarte Woud tot de monding in de Zwarte Zee. Welke stemmen stijgen op uit de rivier?
Archeologische opgravingen en eeuwenoude verhalen, confronterende vragen en dromen, lichamelijke transformaties en vergeten vrouwen geven richting aan de mentale reis van een jonge schrijfster die moeder wordt.
