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.

ARRIVALS / GELIȘ (Honingeter)
Sibel wacht in de luchthaven van Istanboel. Elke dag opnieuw mist ze haar vlucht naar Brussel. Ze voelt zich in de beide landen niet thuis, wil grip krijgen op de herinneringen aan haar overleden vader en haar taal herontdekken. Sibel vult de dagen met het observeren van andere passagiers en de zorg voor een speurhond.
Maar zelf wordt ze ook geobserveerd. Bewakingsagent Ömer houdt haar via zijn schermen in da gaten en beslist haar te beschermen, zoals een vader. En dan is er nog Wernicke, een piloot die niet alleen zijn job verloor, maar nu ook zijn taal en gezondheid. Alle drie leven ze illegaal in de luchthaven, met hun eigen bagage en communicatieproblemen. Een sneeuwstorm verlengt hun ongemakkelijke samenzijn, maar een afscheid is onafwendbaar.
Erkan omschrijft gevoelig hoe het is om tussen twee culturen op te groeien. Honingeter maakt bevattelijk hoe onmogelijk het is de ander echt te begrijpen en om je ergens thuis te voelen als je je moedertaal niet kunt spreken. Met poëtische metaforen toont Erkan de kwetsbaarheid van haar personages.
Tülin Erkan (1988) groeide op in Oostende bij een Franstalige moeder en een Engelstalige grootmoeder. Haar zomers bracht ze door bij haar vader in Turkije. Wanneer mensen haar als half omschrijven, voelt ze zich vooral dubbel. In haar debuut Honingeter rijgt ze taal en herinnering virtuoos aan elkaar tot een gecondenseerd geheel.
