Autor Fien Veldman Traducere de Hester Velmans
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 iun 2025
This is a story of girl meets printer. A customer service assistant spends her long workdays printing letters. Her one friend is the printer and, in the dark confines of her office, she begins to open up to him, talking about her fears, her past, her hopes and dreams. To her, it seems like a beautiful friendship is blossoming. To her boss, it seems like she's losing her mind. Diagnosed with burnout and placed on leave, she faces severance and - worse - separation from her beloved printer. But she's not about to give up on her only friend without a fight. And, it turns out, neither is he.

Caracteristici

Author is based in Amsterdam but speaks fluent English and will be primed for interviews/publicity opportunities. Hard Copy contains autobiographical elements: Fien grew up in a working-class neighbourhood in the Netherlands (and has, of course, worked in customer service!).

Notă biografică

Fien Veldman (1990) is 2022's recipient of the Joost Zwagerman Essay-award for her essay 'Not really making it', about growing up in a working-class neighbourhood in Leeuwarden. In 2018 she won the Elise Mathilde Essay Award for her essay 'Borders, doors and eyes open'. From 2010 until 2016, she worked as a theatre critic. (And, of course, she has also worked in customer service.) Hard Copy is her debut novel.

Recenzii

In clear, bright language, Fien Veldman accurately depicts a world, a social background, that eats its way through the individual... A novel like an autopsy.
Dryly comic... You regularly wonder who is more disturbed here, the protagonist or society.
A weird, understated and very well written book about a millennial meltdown
A beautiful, at times absurdist and moving debut
Absurdist and inventive. Fien Veldman knows how to deal with contemporary cultural phenomena, and she always approaches them astutely and surprisingly'
Wondrous
A beautiful book
