Almond
A Novel“In what might be the first novel to feature a protagonist with alexithymia—an inability to identify and express one’s feelings—Korean novelist Sohn’s affecting debut arrives stateside. Raised by his grandmother and mother who worked diligently to guide him through everyday social interactions, Yunjae at 15 is effectively orphaned…. As Yunjae risks communication and connection, the eponymous almond—the undeveloped amygdalae of his brain—takes seed, and gives Yunjae the courage to claim 'an entirely different story. New and unknown.' Winner of the prestigious Changbi Prize for Young Adult Fiction in Korea, Sohn presents a 15-year-old neurodiverse protagonist with much resonance.” — Booklist (starred review) "In her debut novel, film director and screenwriter Sohn Won-pyung (with the assistance of translator Sandy Joosun Lee) has created a tender exploration of adolescence — a universal experience complicated here by extraordinary circumstances. This is one of those books that deftly straddles the line between young adult and adult fiction; it has such a gentle heart that readers of all ages will recognize and sympathize with the characters' struggles and celebrate when they ultimately triumph." — Salon “Won-pyung Sohn understands that those who think, feel, and communicate differently aren't society's villains, they are its saviors. Her writing possesses seemingly unlimited empathy and tenderness.” — Madeleine Ryan, author of A Room Called Earth “Almond is a tour de force -- deeply engaging, engrossing, and troubling -- a poignant allegory of the contemporary Korean condition that marks the debut of a new international talent." — Heinz Insu Fenkl, author of Memories of My Ghost Brother and translator of The Nine Cloud Dream by Kim Man-jung “In her debut novel, director and screenwriter Sohn makes the bold decision to choose an emotionally constricted first-person narrator, but the risk pays off. With the aid of a skillful translation…the novel will appeal fully to adults, but mature young readers who must cope in their everyday lives with the struggles of late adolescence will find themselves identifying with Yunjae and moved by his plight. A sensitive exploration of what it's like to live at life's emotional poles.” — Kirkus Reviews “Delicate and heartbreaking. Like peeling a fruit, Sohn bares human emotion and questions the human condition with a gentle hunger.” — Jamie Marina Lau, author of Pink Mountain on Locust Island "The narration by a young protagonist with a disorder that affects his ability to identify and express feelings will rightly draw comparisons to The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time by Mark Haddon, but Sohn's insightful depiction of an outsider's perspective on society around him will also please fans of other narrators who sharply consider the world at a remove, such as in The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen. Readers will treasure the opportunity to see the world through Yunjae's eyes and watch him as he grows." — Shelf Awareness "A boldly original piece of fiction, plumbing the depths of the human condition with plenty of humor along the way." — Entertainment Weekly "Intense and moving...a phenomenal book that deserves a wide audience among readers." — Wall Street Journal

De stem van het diepe
Annie MacLeod wist altijd al dat ze anders was. Ze groeide op een zeilboot op in het noordwesten van de Stille Oceaan, waar ze samen met haar ouders en haar beste vriend Evan navigeerde op de sterren en zwom tussen de zeedieren. Maar wanneer een tsunami haar wereld verwoest, strandt Annie op het land en wordt ze gedwongen onder ogen te zien hoe vreemd ze eigenlijk is. In de chaos redt ze een woordeloze man, Walker genaamd, wiens zachte bromtoon alleen zij kan horen.Door Walkers aanraking krijgt Annie visioenen van een verborgen wereld in de oceaan - een leven dat ze niet kent, maar waar ze zich onverklaarbaar toe aangetrokken voelt. Terwijl ze zich steeds verder tot hem voelt aangetrokken, blijft Evan - haar trouwe jeugdliefde - op het droge, met de stabiliteit die ze misschien zal moeten achterlaten. Maar dan verdwijnt Walker, samen met de antwoorden die ze nodig heeft om te begrijpen wie ze werkelijk is.Zes jaar later heeft Annie de zee achter zich gelaten en het verleden begraven - tot Walkers buitenaardse klank opnieuw klinkt en haar terugtrekt naar de oceaan en het leven dat ze ooit achterliet.

Als de dieren
In het twijfeldonker van onze kamer werd ik belaagd door gedachten zwart als kraaien, die hun rollende keelklanken in mijn schedel krasten en zwermend hun vleugels om mijn oren wiekten. Ze vlogen zo rakelings langs me heen dat ik de wind door hun veren hoorde suizen, als een scheur in het weefsel van de werkelijkheid. Als de dieren is een poëtische zoektocht naar taal en betekenis, voor een ervaring die zich tegen beide verzet. Lieselot Mariën studeerde af in filosofie en rechten. Ze werkte achtereenvolgens in het theater, in de keuken en als advocaat. Tegenwoordig maakt ze audiodrama en -documentaires.

The Fire Next Time
James Baldwin was born in 1924 in New York. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953), which evokes his experiences as a boy preacher in Harlem, was an immediate success. Baldwin’s second novel, Giovanni's Room (1956) has become a landmark of gay literature and Another Country (1962) caused a literary sensation. His searing essay collections Notes of a Native Son (1955) and Nobody Knows My Name (1961) contain many of the works that made him an influential figure in the Civil Rights Movement. Baldwin published several other collections of non-fiction, including The Fire Next Time (1963) and No Name in the Street (1972). His short stories are collected in Going to Meet the Man (1965). His later works include the novels Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone (1968), If Beale Street Could Talk (1974) and Just Above My Head (1979).James Baldwin won a number of literary fellowships: a Eugene F. Saxon Memorial Trust Award, a Rosenwald Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Partisan Review Fellowship and a Ford Foundation grant. He was made a Commander of the Legion of Honour in 1986. He died in 1987 in France
