tommy wieringa caesarion * An absorbing coming-of-age novel that is also a parable about loneliness, love and family Over 120,000 copies sold • Sold to Actes Sud (France), Hanser (Germany) and Portobello Books (uk) • World rights: De Bezige Bij • Novel, 368 pages Research for his novel Caesarion took Tommy Wieringa to three continents, from an English seaside town to the jungles of Panama, from the Middle East to the United States. They are all ports of call on the Odyssey undertaken by his central character Ludwig Schultz, whose mother calls him Caesarion, in search of parents both of whom abandoned him to his fate. His two names indicate the megalomaniac expectations his parents have of him. They sacrifice their child in order to realize their own decadent fantasies. His father is obsessed with a building project in the jungle, while his mother is a porn star. The offspring of this bizarre alliance grows up to be a lonely man, restlessly seeking his place in the world. Only after the chastening conclusion to his search for his parents can he start a new life of his own.
tommy wieringa spent part of his childhood in the Dutch Caribbean, and its influence shows through in his exotic settings and richly imaginative prose. After his big success of Joe Speedboat (2005), he published travel stories and columns while working on Ceasarion (2009).
‘A novel full of vitality, fine writing and flawless psychological insight.’ – vrij nederland

(Poland), Fraktura (Croatia), Tiderner Skifter (Denmark) and Iperborea (Italy) • World rights: De Bezige Bij • Novel, 320 pages With his wheelchair-bound narrator, Fransje Hermans, who has cerebral palsy and cannot speak but only grunt unintelligibly, Tommy Wieringa has written a novel whose every page sparkles with brilliant inventiveness. The story centres on Joe Speedboat, Fransje’s friend and enterprising counterpart. A newcomer to the small community, Joe startles the villagers out of their lethargy time and again with spectacular exploits: planting bombs, for instance, or building an aeroplane to spy on Mrs. Eilander as she suns herself in the back garden. Joe is a centrifugal force. He even manages to turn the paralysed Fransje into a sportsman by having him participate in arm-wrestling contests. Joe Speedboat provides the reader with a unique experience. The intriguing characters come to life in a wonderful, tragicomic story, and there are surprises on every page: beau-
tiful images, striking descriptions, magnificent details. Wieringa brilliantly describes a tightlyknit group of young people in the process of losing their innocence. tommy wieringa published his debut novel Dormantique’s Shortcoming in 1995. His breakthrough came with All About Tristan (2002), awarded the Halewijn Prize and nominated for the AKO Literature Prize. His most recent novel is Ceasarion. ‘A book to fall in love with, right from the very first page. It reminds one of the work of John Irving and Paul Auster. With Joe Speedboat, Wieringa’s authorship has reached full maturity.’ – het parool

* A modern-day novel about violence and revenge. Thrilling, filmic and full of momentum Over 40,000 copies sold • Sold to Diogenes Verlag (Germany) • Winner of the Opzij Literature Prize 2010 • English sample translation and synopsis available • Great reviews in the Dutch press and praised as Durlacher’s “best book so far” (de Volkskrant) • World rights: De Bezige Bij • Novel, 384 pages While out jogging, the driver of a car knocks protagonist Sara to the ground. This violence takes her back to the mysterious monologues which her father held in German right before his death. Monologues about his own mother, who was murdered during the war and about whom she knows almost nothing. The past is a venomous thing; when Sara’s son, who is attending college in America, announces his plans to join the Marines and go to Afghanistan, she tries to stop him cost what may. But then she is confronted, along with her husband and their daughter, with a follow-up to the violence. Revenge seems to be the only possible answer, and Sara decides to take the law into her own hands. Her grandmother’s secrets suddenly seem very timely indeed.
jessica durlacher (b. 1961) is the author of such bestsellers as: The Conscience, The Daughter and Emoticon. She has published three novellas during the last three years: Arthuro d’Alberti, Writers! and What Happened to Cathy M.?
‘It’s actually a marvel and certainly a virtue of Durlacher’s writing that all the complicated storylines come together neatly at the end. The Hero is no ordinary, unambiguous novel. It’s a war book, a family saga and a thriller rolled into one.’ – nrc handelsblad ‘As they should in any thriller, all the pieces of the puzzle come together right at the end, but Durlacher lifts her novel to a higher plane by subtly asking what the maximum longevity of the good is – in today’s world too.’ – hp/de tijd

campert love in paris
(Een liefde in Parijs)
* An enchanting and incisive portrait of the artistic milieu of Paris, then and now Over 100,000 copies sold • Sold to Arche (Germany) and Lidové Noviny (Czech Republic) • World rights: De Bezige Bij • Novel, 160 pages In A Love in Paris, poet and writer Richard Sanders returns to the City of Light after several decades, dreaming of a time when he lived there with his painter friend ‘Tovèr’: ‘They actually lived without principles, an ideal state.’ As the book goes on, however, his memories seem increasingly unreliable. ‘In reality he had never existed in this city.’ Melancholy and romance are transformed into bewilderment and quiet anger, until the plot reaches its resounding climax. This is Campert at his best: sensitive and contemplative, yet at the same time ingenious, sharp and surprisingly vitriolic.
remco campert (b. 1929) is one of the most prominent and best-loved writers of the Low Countries, the master of understatement and subtle irony in both poetry and prose. Remco Campert made his debut in 1951 with the poetry collection Birds Do Fly, the start of a majestic career as a poet. In the early 1960s he established his name as a novelist with Life is Dee-u-licious and No Holds Barred. The novels A Love in Paris and The Satin Heart (2006) were highly praised by the critics and hugely popular with readers. ‘Here is the master at work.’ – het parool

Sleep of the Gods, Erwin Mortier’s fifth novel, takes place at the intersection of history’s great events and the little lives of humans, the meeting place between language and the world, imagination and reality, between the writing of history and narrative prose. Sensing death’s approach, an old woman looks back on her childhood, her loves, her marriage and the years during the First World War that she spent in France with her mother and brother. What gradually arises is an intimate panorama of Belgium, with no desire to emphasize one event more than another.
erwin mortier made his literary debut in 1999 with the novel Marcel, which received the Gerard Walschap Literature Prize, the Van der Hoogt Prize and The Golden Dog-Ear. Sleep of the Gods is considered his magnum opus so far.
‘A stunning novel.’ – frankfurter allgemeine ‘A subtle love song. A requiem.’ – knack ‘A novel without an equal… If Marcel Proust has a descendent somewhere in Flanders, he must be born in Ghent.’ – knack ‘A monumental and phenomenal book. Sleep of the Gods will be named in the future in one breath with The sorrow of Belgium by Hugo Claus.’ – de morgen
