Miller Williams Poetry Prize-The Daughter of Man, L. J. Sysko
So nice to have a poet write from the heart and mind combined in an extremely funny and poignant way!Divided into chapters like: The Maven, the Maiden, the Queen, the Warrior you know your are in for a rollercoaster of reflecting onto the stupidity of men, misogyny, womanhood, Dolly Parton, Kristallnacht and much much more. Her poems, in writing and style, transcends ‘feminist-writing’ or ‘death to the patriachy’, her views, whit / humor are more an example of female power then anything else. Yes, LJ Sysko will pull you in, and she will hold you there. And you wouldn’t like to be anywhere else.

Lessons, Ian McEwan
Prachtige proza en een meanderend verhaal dat de grote wendingen in de europeesche geschiedenis heel knap combineerd met persoonlijke tragiek. Geen spooiler: Bijvoorbeeld, dat tijdens van de val van muur de hoofdpersoon een lang gekoesterde vraag nm kan oplossen. Waarna de lezer wordt meegenomen in het inzicht dat de hoofdpersoon krijgt in zijn eigen ijdelheid en daarmee zijn eigen aandeel in de onstaande situatie. Prachtig prachtig prachtig

Heartburn, Nora Ephron
Brilliant vertelling over hoe een vrouw struggled met de affaire van haar man, goed eten, zelfreflectie en goede sex. Kortom alles wat het leven interessant maakt. Met ontzettend veel humor verteld, brilliante dialogen en gedachten sprongen, kortom : heartburn (heartburn betekent maagzuur :) alleen de titel al....tip van #deshitshow over Nora Ephron in het algemeen.

A Ghost in the Throat, Doireann Ni Ghriofa | 9781771964111 | Boeken | bol.com
Very original story of a young mother who is captivated by an Irish poem from the 18th century. As she investigates the background of this 'greatest Irish poem ever written' she discovers the connection between generations of mothers upto her own daughter. Very refreshing due to the style it has been written : essay, historical novel, translation and Auto- fiction.

Nomadland
Mix between roadmovie and strong character movie that tells the tale of Urban nomads that discover the USA by working and living whereever there are jobs. Beautiful scene’s among people and scenery as well.
