Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2020 INTERNATIONAL BOOKER PRIZE A stark and gripping tale of childhood grief from one of the most exciting new voices in Dutch literature Ten-year-old Jas lives with her strictly religious parents and her siblings on a dairy farm where waste and frivolity are akin to sin. Despite the dreary routine of their days, Jas has a unique way of experiencing her world: her face soft like cheese under her mother’s hands; the texture of green warts, like capers, on migrating toads in the village; the sound of “blush words” that aren’t in the Bible. One icy morning, the disciplined rhythm of her family’s life is ruptured by a tragic accident, and Jas is convinced she is to blame. As her parents’ suffering makes them increasingly distant, Jas and her siblings develop a curiosity about death that leads them into disturbing rituals and fantasies. Cocooned in her red winter coat, Jas dreams of “the other side” and of salvation, not knowing where this dreaming will finally lead her. A bestseller in the Netherlands, Lucas Rijneveld’s radical debut novel The Discomfort of Evening offers readers a rare vision of rural and religious life in the Netherlands. In it, he asks: In the absence of comfort and care, what can the mind of a child invent to protect itself? And what happens when that is not enough? With stunning psychological acuity and images of haunting, violent beauty, Rijneveld has created a captivating world of language unlike any other.

Download or read book Upstate Girls written by Brenda Ann Kenneally and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-08-28 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of Dorothea Lange and Robert Frank, an eye-opening portrait of the rise and fall of the American working class, and a shockingly intimate visual history of Troy, New York that arcs over five hundred years—from Henry Hudson to the industrial revolution to a group of contemporary young women as they grow, survive, and love. Welcome to Troy, New York. The land where mastodon roamed, the Mohicans lived, and the Dutch settled in the seventeenth century. Troy grew from a small trading post into a jewel of the Industrial Revolution. Horseshoes, rail ties, and detachable shirt collars were made there and the middle class boomed, making Troy the fourth wealthiest city per capita in the country. Then, the factories closed, the middle class disappeared, and the downtown fell into disrepair. Troy is the home of Uncle Sam, the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, the Rensselaer County Jail, the photographer Brenda Ann Kenneally, and the small group of young women, their children, lovers, and families who Kenneally has been photographing for over a decade. Before Kenneally left Troy, her life looked a lot like the lives of these girls. With passion and profound empathy she has chronicled three generations—their love and heartbreak; their births and deaths; their struggles with poverty, with education, and with each other; and their joy. Brenda Ann Kenneally is the Dorothea Lange of our time—her work a bridge between the people she photographs, history, and us. What began as a brief assignment for The New York Times Magazine became an eye-opening portrait of the rise and fall of the American working class, and a shockingly intimate visual history of Troy that arcs over five hundred years. Kenneally beautifully layers archival images with her own photographs and collages to depict the transformations of this quintessentially American city. The result is a profound, powerful, and intimate look at America, at poverty, at the shrinking middle class, and of people as they grow, survive, and love.

Download or read book Forgetfulness written by Richard Reitsma and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2024-08-15 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Jewish Holocaust orphan Jay’s life story is linked to tales of deep hatreds, profound love, and paralyzing fears. The storyteller is Harold. He had been Jay’s boyhood friend and only discovered late in life that Jay was one of a small number of Dutch Jews who had not been killed by Hitler and his murderous goons. The hatred in this story is projected through the character of a Dutch Nazi who first raped Jay’s mom and later killed her. The love is presented through the story of the three-way friendship between Jay’s adoptive mom, his natural mom, and Harold’s uncle. The paralyzing fears in the story are portrayed through the character of Jay’s adoptive dad who, even after the war, was still too afraid to tell Jay about his birth mom. The ongoing drama in this three-family story is repeatedly brought to the fore through the actions of Harold’s dad who had the bravado of a storm chaser but the attention span of a two-year-old. Jay’s story is a parable in the sense that Hitler’s henchmen usually, but not always, used violence and fear as tools to suppress the spirit of love in the Netherlands during WWII and afterwards.
