Ik die nooit een man heb gekend
Diep onder de grond leven negenendertig vrouwen gevangen in een kooi. De vrouwen worden in de gaten gehouden door ongenaakbare bewakers en kunnen zich niet herinneren hoe ze daar terecht zijn gekomen, ze hebben geen besef van tijd en herinneren zich slechts vaag hoe hun leven ooit is geweest. Terwijl het continu brandende licht de dag in de nacht doet overgaan en er ontelbare jaren verstrijken, zit een jong meisje – de veertigste gevangene – alleen en verstoten in de hoek. Al snel zal blijken dat zij de sleutel is tot de ontsnapping van de anderen en hun kans op overleving in de vreemde wereld die boven de grond op hen wacht. Ik die nooit een man heb gekend is een beklemmende, hartverscheurende post-apocalyptische roman over vrouwelijke vriendschap en intimiteit, en over de moeite die mensen doen om hun menselijkheid te behouden in het aangezicht van verwoesting.

Orlanda
Welke man of vrouw heeft er nooit van gedroomd om op zijn minst één keer te veranderen van leefwereld door in het lichaam en de geest van een ander te kruipen? Aline Berger zal deze gedaanteverwisseling aan den lijve ondergaan. Ze wacht op het Parijse Gare du Nord op de trein naar Brussel. Ze leest een roman van Virginia Woolf, maar haar gedachten dwalen af en richten zich plotseling op een onbekende blonde jongeman van een jaar of twintig, Lucien Lefrène. Op dat moment besluit Aline het onmogelijke waar te maken: een deel van haarzelf, haar mannelijke kant, verhuist van haar vrouwenlichaam naar dat van de jongen. Een duizelingwekkende ervaring… Nu Aline in Lucien woont, kijkt ze naar de Aline die ze heeft verlaten. Ze wordt, zij worden, meegesleurd in een avontuur waarin de situaties noodzakelijkerwijs onverwacht zijn, de affaires scabreus, de toenadering tussen de individuen verrassend.
