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.

Măi, fetelor (It’s Both Heaven and Hell Here. Moldova: a Century of Lived History)

There are few places across Europe which have had the tumultuous story of Moldova in the 20th and 21st centuries. My greatgrandmother, for instance, spent most of her life in the same village while living in four different countries: she was born in the Russian Empire, went to school in Romania, resisted collectivisation and eventually gave in during the Soviet era, and got retired in the independent Republic of Moldova. I share her story in this book, as well as stories of other people with different backgrounds I interviewed, in an effort to create a polyphonic view of Moldova’s recent history. Chronologically, the book starts with the 1903 infamous Chisinau pogrom and it ends with the 2022 refugee crisis caused by the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Geographically, the stories are rooted in Moldova but they cover the whole world thanks to the processes of migration that characterised all of the communities described in this book — Jewish, Roma, Armenian, Moldovan, Ukrainian, Russian etc. — at different points during history.
