Beskrivning
This collection of five subtly wrought stories from Amatmoekrim brings her short fiction into the English language for the first time. Ranging from the speculative ‘Jacques d’Or’ to the radical ‘De Radicaal’, this collection is a journey through Amatmoekrim’s pre-occupation with what kind of world we are creating. Her often cheerful and entertaining writing is threaded with threatening undertones, creating a haunting effect on the reader.

Mer om författaren

Karin Amatmoekrim a Surinamese-Dutch writer and the author of five novels, a memoir and short stories. She broke through in 2011 with The Gymnasium, an autobiographical novel about a Surinamese girl attending a gymnasium (grammar school). Her work now includes six novels as well as numerous short stories, essays and journalistic pieces. The University of Amsterdam has studied Amatmoekrim’s work considering it the start of a new, Dutch literature: one that links to the idea of cosmopolitanism and explores new ways of thinking about home and identity. The author, who has Indonesian, Chinese, African and Native American blood, stated that her work does not so much follow an ethnic path, but rather embodies universal, human themes.
