The Interpreter From Java

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 sep 2020

A son distills his father's life in the Dutch East Indies into one furious utterance - everything from the atrocities of the Japanese occupation, and the war of independence that followed, to his father's violent and unpredictable treatment of his children in his new homeland, postwar Holland.

Caracteristici

A major novel about violent colonial war, about the complicity of collaborators and the tragic consequences for the families of the perpetrators.

Notă biografică

Alfred Birney was born in 1951. For The Interpreter from Java he was awarded the Libris Literature Prize, the Netherlands' premier literary award, and the Henriëtte Roland Holst Prize. He lives in the Netherlands but speaks English fluently and will be coming to the UK for publication.

Recenzii

A masterly novel about the violence of colonialism, the war of decolonisation, the repatriation of the collaborators and the consequences all of this has had on the families of those involved
Birney mercilessly exposes a crucial part of Dutch history. This masterful novel will echo in the minds of its readers
What a great novel, its language and storytelling so light but also raw and lyrical. A tremendous writer. Read this book
A work of unbridled, incensed storytelling: an assault on the lazy assumptions of parochial, colonial history and a personal quest for redemption
