Grondwerk

Grondwerk [Groundwork] (2025) explores climate change, collective action and attempts to make the world habitable in poetic and sensory language. In the novel, a naked mole-rat is sent on a mission from her colony in the Horn of Africa to a square in Brussels. Waiting for a briefing that fails to arrive, she observes the curious ways of the homo sapiens and starts digging tunnels in Brussels’ underbelly. As sinkholes grow all over the city – fragmenting the infrastructure of the political heart of Europe – a meeting and growing friendship with a climate activist produces an unexpected twist. Grondwerk was shortlisted for the Boekenbon Literatuurprijs and very positively reviewed in the Belgian and Dutch press.

Svatá

Život ovdovělé hospodské Aloisie se obrátí vzhůru nohama ve chvíli, kdy se její dceři Kristě zjeví v lese Panna Maria. Třebaže ji krom Kristy nikdo neviděl, zpráva o zjevení se rychle rozkřikne, do zapomenutého kraje začnou proudit zástupy a zadlužená hospoda konečně prosperuje. Krista je stejnou měrou okolím adorována i nenáviděna. Sama Aloisie neví, na kterou stranu se přiklonit. Je její dcera lhářka, nebo vizionářka? A zjevuje se v lese skutečně Matka Boží, nebo něco mnohem děsivějšího? Příběh o lásce, víře a nekonečné vůli vychází ze skutečných událostí, které se odehrály v devatenáctém století na Broumovsku.
