De bananengeneratie: over het dubbelleven van Chinese Nederlanders van nu

Pete Wu is een banaan. Althans, zo noemt zijn moeder hem liefkozend: ‘geel van buiten en wit vanbinnen’. Hij is een tweede generatie Chinese Nederlander, die midden in de Nederlandse samenleving staat. Toch wordt Pete ongewild herinnerd aan zijn anders-zijn. Door mensen die hem vragen waar hij nou écht vandaan komt. Of anders wel door de gemiddelde carnavalshit, Meneer Cheung uit Ik hou van Holland, of Gordon: ‘Wat ga je zingen? Nummer 39 met rijst?’ In De bananengeneratie gaat Pete in gesprek met ‘mede bananen’ die net als hij worstelen met hun Chinese Nederlanderschap. Hij praat met hen over generatieclashes, daten, discriminatie en eenzaamheid. En over het gevecht om jezelf te mogen zijn – bevrijd van clichés.

Als de dieren

In Als de dieren onderzoekt een vrouw wat haar is overkomen na de geboorte van haar eerste kind – een ervaring zo donker dat ze zich tegen taal en betekenis verzet. In het dierenrijk, in oude mythes, in foto’s, e-mails en zelfs boodschappenlijstjes uit haar kraamtijd, zoekt de vrouw naar houvast. Hoe word je, lang nadat je je kind op de wereld hebt gezet, alsnog moeder? En hoe verenig je opnieuw de brokstukken van een mens, nadat die uit elkaar is gevallen?

ARRIVALS / GELIȘ (Przyloty)

Translated from Dutch to Polish by Anna Opara

La rinnegata

A story of three generations of women, their courage and search for independence in the face of superstition and prejudice, in the spirit of Natalia Ginzburg and Elena Ferrante. In this striking debut, based on a true story, Valeria Usala bears witness to an age-old story of violence against women and takes us into the heart of rural Sardinia, where superstitions and cruelty coexist with the joys and companionship of a tight-knit community. Teresa runs a shop and a tavern. But not even the family she has created with the man she loves can protect her from the malicious gossip of jealous locals, who are threatened by her independence. Her own mother, Maria, was made an outcast, and now Teresa is in turn forsaken by the villagers. Will she pay for her success with her life? Is she like a character in Greek tragedy, whose destiny is inevitable? A story that gives voice to the forgotten women of Sardinia—and to the one of women everywhere.
