Beginning Middle End
From the beloved, award-winning author of the modern classics Lost Children Archive and Tell Me How It Ends comes her most powerful and page-turning novel yet: the tale of a mother and a daughter starting over, searching for a new story."A beautiful, maybe perfect, novel.” —Tommy Orange, author of Wandering StarsThis story begins when a mother and her daughter take off on a trip. It is a summer of rapidly changing winds, volcanic rumbles, and sudden tempests. They’ve landed in Sicily, near the ancient ruins where the mother’s grandmother worked long ago on an archaeological dig. The narrator’s marriage has collapsed, her mother is losing her memory, and her daughter is on the threshold of adolescence, starting to ask difficult questions and form complex memories. How do you begin again? the narrator wonders, pondering her family line. How do you begin again if you got the beginning wrong?While the mother tries to figure out how to reconstruct their lives as a duo—cooking meals side by side, reading out loud to each other, playing chess, bickering and making up—her daughter takes the reins of the story, and their journey soon becomes a quest for origins, not just to the familial past across continents, languages, and generations, but also farther back, to a mythical and even geological past.Beginning Middle End evolves into a road novel of exquisite tenderness, spanning four generations of women. In their travels through Sicily, mother and daughter cross paths with the island’s migrants, storekeepers, and elders, and also its volcanoes, its winds, and its waters. Weaving myths, ancient philosophy, and natural history with fleeting moments of contemporary life, the unforgettable characters in this novel take us on a journey across time, and confront some of life’s primary questions: How do stories shape our children’s memories and imagination? How do we situate ourselves deeply in the world while accepting our transience in it? How are a family’s memories made and what happens when they disappear?Warm, funny, and poetic, this novel is an ode to imagination and possibility in dark times.

Valse papieren
‘Sommige boeken worden vergeten. Ze worden vergeten op het toilet, of in de keuken achtergelaten. Ze worden vervangen door andere boeken zodra onze onverschilligheid dat toestaat. Maar er zijn erbij die tegenstribbelen. In dat geval hoef je het boek alleen maar opnieuw open te slaan en verder te lezen. De weinige boeken die we echt lezen zullen voor eeuwig plekken blijven waarnaar we altijd terug kunnen keren.’ Het cultdebuut van een van de meest originele en opwindende literaire stemmen uit Latijns-Amerika. Een nieuwe editie om het 15-jarige jubileum te vieren van een everseller die al vele harten heeft veroverd – en blijft veroveren. Met een nieuw voorwoord van Jan Postma. ‘Na lezing van Valse papieren ga je anders om je heen kijken.’ – Trouw Het werk van de Mexicaanse Valeria Luiselli (1983) is in meer dan 30 talen vertaald. Bij Das Mag verscheen eerder het essay Vertel me het einde, De gewichtlozen en de roman Archief van verloren kinderen, die meerdere prijzen won en werd genomineerd voor de Booker Prize.

Vertel me het einde
een essay in veertig vragenVertel me het einde is het nieuwe boek van een van 's werelds meest spraakmakende schrijvers: Valeria Luiselli (Mexico-Stad, 1983). In Amerika wordt het 'de eerste must-read van het Trump-tijdperk' genoemd. Terwijl Luiselli zelf op haar green card wacht, werkt ze als tolk bij de immigratierechtbank in New York. Ze luistert naar de verhalen van honderden Latijns-Amerikaanse kinderen die zonder ouders de Amerikaanse grens zijn overgestoken en aan wie ze telkens dezelfde veertig vragen moet stellen. De antwoorden van de kinderen passen zelden binnen de lijntjes van de formulieren. Pijnlijk wordt duidelijk waar de naïeve realiteit van overheidsinstanties schuurt met de gruwelijke wereld die de kinderen ontvluchten. Vertel me het einde is een prachtig en belangrijk kleinood dat je blik op de wereld op zijn grondvesten doet schudden.

Principio metà fine
Un viaggio alle origini di una famiglia attraverso quattro generazioni di donne. Un romanzo intimo e immaginifico che, tra istantanee dalla contemporaneità e memorie destinate a sbiadire, dà voce a un insopprimibile, struggente desiderio di appartenenza. Dall'autrice di Archivio dei bambini perduti. Sono giorni di venti impetuosi, brontolii di vulcani e improvvise tempeste, quelli in cui una madre e una figlia adolescente arrivano in Sicilia. Alle spalle si sono lasciate il dolore provocato dal fallimento di un matrimonio e la difficile separazione da un fratello. Per entrambe quel soggiorno sull'isola rappresenta un nuovo inizio, uno slancio verso il futuro, ma anche l'occasione per riscoprire parte della storia familiare. Lí, dove sono le loro radici, cucineranno fianco a fianco, leggeranno i classici ad alta voce, incontreranno migranti, bottegai, anziani del posto. Restituendoci così un racconto affascinante che attraversa continenti e lingue, che riannoda i fili del tempo fino a un passato antico e geologico.
