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.

De beesten

‘Ik wil niet veel zeggen, maar volgens mij ging het al mis met Tom Keller toen die twee ooms hem ’s nachts meenamen naar het bos en hem dingen lieten doen die een jongen van negen nog lang niet zou moeten doen.’ Zo begint De beesten, het romandebuut van Gijs Wilbrink. Het speelt zich af in de Achterhoek, te midden van motoren, stropers, nertsenfokkerijen en handeltjes die het daglicht niet kunnen verdragen. In dit mystieke grensland vol geheimen groeit Tom Keller op, jongste telg van de beruchtste familie van de streek, en gezegend met een van God gegeven talent voor de motocross. Als hij jaren later plotseling verdwijnt, komt zijn opstandige dochter terug naar haar geboortegrond om hem te zoeken, met een dramatische familiereünie tot gevolg.
