La sentencia

Dos hombres violentos reciben el encargo de eliminar a un soplón. Mientras vagan por montañas y pueblos remotos, las huellas de su pasado comienzan a cercarlos. En ese trayecto, lo real y lo onírico se entrelazan hasta borrar los límites. Una parábola inquietante ambientada en un mundo áspero, donde el miedo gobierna a los personajes y los empuja hacia su destino.

Bintje

De rijzige appartementsblokken van de provinciestad, jaren negentig. Bintje groeit op in een verscheurd gezin. Haar Congolese vader is een fanatiek religieuze man, een aan lagerwal geraakte schrijver die geen werk vindt en overdag aan zijn memoires werkt. Hoe gedesillusioneerder hij raakt, hoe meer hij naar de fles grijpt en hoe agressiever hij thuis wordt. Desondanks adoreert Bintje haar vader en probeert ze hem op het juiste pad te houden. Als het echter duidelijk wordt dat hij niet te redden valt, verbreekt ze alle contact. Dertig jaar later is Bintje in hetzelfde bedje ziek. Gescheiden en vervreemd van haar zoon, woont ze nog altijd in de intussen verloederde blokken en worstelt ze met haar eigen verslavingen. Haar job als leerkracht biedt enige houvast, tot ze ook op school de controle verliest en wordt gedwongen haar jeugdtrauma’s onder ogen te zien.

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.
