Dagen als vreemde symptomen

Sisyphus doolt door de hel met een lege rolstoel en weet niet precies wat ze daar te zoeken heeft, behalve dat ze haar dochter, die meervoudig beperkt is, moet ophalen uit het dagcentrum. Een missie die telkens mislukt, waarna ze teleurgesteld terugkeert naar de aftandse benedenwoning van een zonderling appartementencomplex. Wanneer haar hospita schijnbaar uit het niets een praatje met haar aanknoopt, begint ze zich plotseling dingen te herinneren. Dagen als vreemde symptomen is een gevecht tegen de verveling, een zoektocht naar de grenzen van het moederschap, van hoop en radeloosheid, van leven en dood.

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.
