Flaptekst van de memoir van Clark Fredericks over kindermisbruik

A memoir of trauma and transformation by a man who was haunted by childhood abuse but who fought his way back—a journey from vengeance and prison to freedom and redemption.

For a boy growing up in the 1970s, rural northern New Jersey was a year-round playground, filled with secret fishing holes, enchanted woods, and private trails to explore with friends. But this childhood idyll was snatched from Clark Fredericks by a man he regarded as a local hero: Dennis Pegg, the town’s Boy Scout leader, a law enforcement officer with the Sussex County Sheriff’s Department, and, as Fredericks would discover, a serial predator.

Through his teenage years and young adulthood, Fredericks kept silent about the horrific abuse he experienced, turning to drugs, alcohol, gambling, and sex addiction to numb the memory. For decades, he remained tormented by shame, unable to share the secrets that were eating away at his psyche—until he violently confronted his abuser.

At once heartbreaking and uplifting, Scarred is the story of a man who overcame the destructive aftereffects of violence and abuse that nearly destroyed him. Now an advocate for victims and a prominent voice in support of child abuse law reform, Fredericks powerfully illustrates the healing power of love and trust.

Clark Fredericks and his story have inspired major reform of the statutes that once severely limited the rights of child abuse victims to sue their abusers. He has been featured on CBS News, ABC News, in PeopleLos Angeles Times, and more. Now a popular motivational speaker, he remains an outspoken victim’s rights advocate. He lives in Westchester County, New York. Find out more at FreeLike-Me.com.

Jonathan Buckley – One Boat

Jonathan Buckley One Boat review, recensie en informatie over de inhoud van de Engelse roman. Op 13 maart 2025 verschijnt bij Fitzcarraldo Editons de roman van de uit Engeland afkomstige schrijver Jonathan Buckley. De roman is door de jury geselecteerd voor de longlist van de Booker Prize 2025. Een Nederlandse vertaling van de roman is niet verkrijgbaar.

Jonathan Buckley One Boat review en recensie

  • “A strange, sly and self-assured novel, in which both nothing and everything happens…. There is a great deal of freight on board One Boat, but it packs so neatly into 168 pages that it never feels overburdened. This is a novel to be returned to as a place in which to think, just as Teresa returns to her Greek town.” (Frances Wilson, Times Literary Supplement)
  • “Teresa’s story emerges in non-linear fragments of reminiscence and notebook scribbles…. An understated story about selfhood emerges from the flotsam of memories and jottings. When Buckley at last pulls back the metafictional curtain in the book’s final pages, he formalizes his narrator’s driftings and draftings. What seems at first a set of disparate, unpolished vignettes proves to be a masterfully unified conceit.” (Rachel Armitage, Literary Review)
  • “Following the death of her father, Teresa returns to the small coastal town in Greece she first visited when her mother died nearly a decade before. From this scenario, tacking between the events of the second trip and memories of the first, Buckley creates a novel of quiet brilliance and sly humour, packed with mystery and indeterminacy. The way in which the book interleaves Teresa’s relationship to her mother, her involvement in an amateur murder investigation, and an account of a love affair, raises questions about grief, obsession, personhood and human connectivity we found to be as stimulating as they are complex.” (Booker Prize 2025 Jury)

Flaptekst van de roman van Benjamin Wood

On losing her father, Teresa returns to a small town on the Greek coast – the same place she visited when grieving her mother nine years ago. She immerses herself again in the life of the town, observing the inhabitants going about their business, a quiet backdrop for her reckoning with herself. An episode from her first visit resurfaces vividly – her encounter with John, a man struggling to come to terms with the violent death of his nephew.

Soon Teresa encounters some of the people she met last time around: Petros, an eccentric mechanic, whose life story may or may not be part of John’s; the beautiful Niko, a diving instructor; and Xanthe, a waitress in one of the cafés on the leafy town square. They talk about their longings, regrets, the passing of time, their sense of who they are.

Artfully constructed, absorbing and insightful, One Boat is a brilliant novel grappling with questions of identity, free will, guilt and responsibility.

Jonathan Buckley is born in 1956 in Birmingham. He is a writer and editor now living in Brighton. In 2015 he won the BBC National Short Story Award for ‘Briar Road’, and he is a regular contributor to the Times Literary Supplement. His previous novel, Tell, was the joint winner of the 2022 Novel Prize, a global, biennial award for a book-length work of literary fiction written in English, and was shortlisted for the 2024 Goldsmiths Prize. One Boat is his thirteenth novel.

Ben Markovitz The Rest of Our Lives review en recensie

  • “When Tom Layward’s wife cheated on him, he stayed for the children but promised to leave when his youngest turned eighteen. Twelve years later, Tom drops his daughter off at college, but instead of driving back to New York he heads west. What follows is a remarkably satisfying road trip full of strangers, friends, and self-discovery. It’s clear author Ben Markovits has spent time teaching. This novel speaks like a much-loved professor, one whose classes have a terribly long waitlist. It’s matter of fact, effortlessly warm, and it uses the smallest parts of human behaviour to uphold bigger themes, like mortality, sickness, and love. The Rest of Our Lives is a novel of sincerity and precision. We found it difficult to put it down.” (Booker Prize 2025 jury)
  • “We all fear irrelevance as technology and society outpace us, and as the young outgrow us. Yet, reading Ben Markovits’s gentle, powerful and funny novel, we are reminded that family love can ground us and keep us together.” (Philip Womack, Times Literary Supplement)
  • “The Rest of Our Lives is another quiet triumph, an elegant, devastating book that lays bare the way time calcifies our failures, how we find ourselves trapped not by circumstance but by the slow erosion of the will to escape. Markovits has long been one of our most under-appreciated novelists; this is yet more proof that he deserves far greater recognition.” (Alex Preston, Guardian)

Flaptekst van de roman van Ben Markovitz

When Tom Layward’s wife had an affair, the synopsis reads, ‘he resolved to leave her as soon as his youngest child turned eighteen. Twelve years later, while driving her to Pittsburgh to start university, he remembers his pact. He is also on the run from his own health issues, and the fact that he’s been put on leave at work after students complained about the politics of his law class – something he hasn’t yet told his wife.

So, after dropping Miriam off, he keeps driving, with the vague plan of visiting various people from his past – an old college friend, his ex-girlfriend, his brother, his son – en route, maybe, to his father’s grave in California. Pitch perfect, quietly exhilarating and moving, The Rest of Our Lives is a novel about family, marriage and those moments which may come to define us.

Benjamin Markovits grew up in Texas, London and Berlin. His novels include Either Side of WinterYou Don’t Have to Live Like This, Christmas in Austin, and, most recently, The Sidekick. He has published essays, stories, poetry and reviews in the GuardianGrantaThe Paris Review and the New York Times, among others. In 2013 Granta selected him as one of their Best of Young British Novelists and in 2015 he won the Eccles British Library Writer in Residence Award and the James Tait Black Memorial Prize. He lives in London and teaches creative writing at Royal Holloway, University of London.

Hier lees je informatie over de inhoud van het boek, de auteur en over de uitgave. Een Nederlandse vertaling is niet verkrijgbaar.

Daniel Saldaña París The Dance and the Fire review en recensie

  • The Dance and the Fire is exuberantly strange, dark, and comic; an enthralling ode to Cuernavaca and the modern rebirth of medieval choreomania, as well as a prophecy about what happens when the built-up dread of our world on fire begins to seep into the soul. Daniel Saldaña Paris is an extraordinary talent, and his novel feels both urgent and true.” (Lauren Groff)
  • “A kaleidoscopic, erudite, and sweepingly tender novel reminiscent of Sebald, if Sebald was on acid. The Dance and the Fire’s power comes from the ambitious (yet brilliantly compacted) range of its themes—fatherhood, eros, art, judgment, personal and archival aporia—that culminate in a book as capacious, porous, and resonant as history itself.” (Ocean Vuong)

Flaptekst van de roman van de Mexicaanse schrijver Daniel Saldaña París

In a gripping, atmospheric new novel by acclaimed Mexican writer Daniel Saldaña París, three friends forever bound by erotic flames of the past reunite in a city engulfed by wildfires and an ecstatic dancing plague.

After years apart, three high school friends return to Cuernavaca, Mexico, where an intense love triangle once left an indelible mark on their adolescence. The city, surrounded by a ring of claustrophobic wildfires, brings out the past and confronts them with their present: they must once again face the entanglement of friendship and desire, the seemingly distant discovery of sexuality, complex parental relationships, and the daunting task of artistic fulfillment.

In the background, two forces of chaos and destruction are a constant presence. As fires ravage the physical landscape, one of the friends begins choreographing an ecstatic dance inspired by the German expressionist Mary Wigman and medieval Danse Macabre. What starts as a coping mechanism for the anxieties of youth and climate catastrophe becomes an overpowering, all-consuming hysteria. Mysterious powers are awakened, the boundary between reality and myth begins to blur, and the friends find themselves immersed in an increasingly turbulent and uncertain universe.

Daniel Saldaña París is born on 17 September 1984 in Mexico-City. He a Mexican writer based in New York and Mexico City. He is the author of the essay collection Planes Flying Over a Monster and the novels Among Strange Victims and Ramifications. In 2017 he was named on the Bogota39 list of best Latin American writers under 40.

Flaptekst boek over hoe de georganiseerde misdaad de wereld dicteert

Hoe is de georganiseerde misdaad verbonden met moderne staten? En staat de georganiseerde misdaad aan de basis van alle zogenaamde legitieme macht?

In zijn nieuwste boek laat historicus en Ruslandexpert Mark Galeotti zien hoe de hele bovenwereld functioneert dankzij haar banden met de onderwereld. Homo criminalis beschrijft hoe criminele onderwerelden vormgaven aan kapitalisme, globalisering en de moderne staat. Het boek maakt een even fascinerende als gruwelijke reis door de geschiedenis, langs Chinese bendes, achttiende-eeuwse Engelse theesmokkel, hedendaagse onderzeeërs gevuld met cocaïne en hightechmisdaad. Hoe we ook proberen de onderwereld met wetten, beleid en justitie te onderdrukken: de onderwereld is zozeer verknocht met de bovenwereld dat dat in wezen onmogelijk is.

Door de georganiseerde misdaad centraal te stellen biedt Homo criminaliseen nieuw, beangstigend perspectief op de grote vooruitgangsverhalen die we onszelf graag vertellen.

Mark Galeotti is geboren in 1965 in Londen. Hij is werkzaam aan het Institute of International Relations in Praag en verbonden aan het Nederlandse platform Raam op Rusland. Hij is de auteur van onder meer het veelgeprezen De Vory. De Russische supermaffia en We moeten het even over Poetin hebben.

Flaptekst van de Oxford detective uit 1949 van Edmund Crispin

Richard Cadogan, poet and would-be bon vivant, arrives for what he thinks will be a relaxing holiday in the city of dreaming spires. Late one night, however, he discovers the dead body of an elderly woman lying in a toyshop and is coshed on the head. When he comes to, he finds that the toyshop has disappeared and been replaced with a grocery store. The police are understandably skeptical of this tale but Richard’s former schoolmate, Gervase Fen (Oxford professor and amateur detective), knows that truth is stranger than fiction (in fiction, at least). Soon the intrepid duo are careening around town in hot pursuit of clues but just when they think they understand what has happened, the disappearing-toyshop mystery takes a sharp turn…

Erudite, eccentric and entirely delightful – Before Morse, Oxford’s murders were solved by Gervase Fen, the most unpredictable detective in classic crime fiction.

Edmund Crispin was born on 2 October 1921 in Chesham Bois, Buckinghamshire, England as Robert Bruce Montgomery. He was a crime writer and composer. He was most well known for is Gervase Fen novel. The name Edmund Crispin was a pseudonym for his writing activities.  He died on 15 september 1976 in West Hampstead, London from alcohol-related problems aged 56.

  • “Need it be said – the little grey cells solve once more the seemingly insoluble. Mrs Christie makes an improbable tale very real, and keeps her readers enthralled and guessing to the end.” (Times Literary Supplement)
  • “Ingenuity at its height … the idea is utterly novel, the setting a model of realism, and the characters a versatile, attractive crew.” (Woman’s Journal)
  • “In Christie’s hands, this plot line turns into something far more accomplished than a mystery story. The array of motives and backstories that she must now fit together to explain what happened may be more complex than the crime at Poirot’s neck, but Christie makes no concession to her reader.” (Sughnen Yongo, Forbes)
