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.

Corridor (Peninsula)
‘Hij bracht zijn gezicht tot vlak bij het hare, sloot zijn ogen en voelde haar lippen meteen tegen de zijne duwen. Een oud lied weerklonk door de straten. Een tel lang hielden elektronen op met suizen, vergat het licht zijn schrikbarende snelheid. In een flits kan een wereld vernield worden. Misschien geldt het omgekeerde ook: een blik, enkele woorden kunnen jarenlang wachten, een lawine aan verdriet verzachten.’
Met elegantie en trefzekere taal schetst Lieven Stoefs in Peninsula een familieportret van vier generaties. Van een trillend been bij een allereerste ontmoeting op een autobus, naar een zoektocht die een halve eeuw later langs een Grieks schiereiland, voetbalvelden en fabrieken schuift. Op indrukwekkende wijze verschijnt een wereld waar liefde en wanhoop onafscheidelijk zijn.
‘Alleen de rimpelingen in het water zien we, nooit de inslag, de steen die het oppervlak raakt.’
Lieven Stoefs is ingenieur en schrijver. Hij groeide op in Griekenland. In zijn schrijven versmelt een wetenschappelijke blik met poëtische taal. Zijn kortverhalen verschenen onder meer in Kluger Hans en Op Ruwe Planken. Peninsula is zijn debuutroman.
