The Opposite of a Person
Autor:
Opis
Opis
If people were evil, and I wished to be good, then I had to make sure that I was the opposite of a person.
When Ida, a Dutch climatologist, accepts an internship at a climate research institute in the Italian Alps, it means leaving her girlfriend Robin behind in Amsterdam. As she and her new colleagues prepare to demolish a decommissioned hydropower dam, Ida finds herself grappling with love, loneliness and her place in a society unwilling to confront global warming.
An unflinchingly honest narrative of vulnerability, longing and introspection is disrupted by essays and poems, creating an incisive, witty and devastatingly smart portrait of how we live now. Distilling all our contemporary fears, Marsman examines what we must face head-on if we - individuals, humanity, the world - are to survive. And she asks us: if we are to survive, what is our impetus? For what are we fighting?
Startlingly unique, timely and ultimately deeply moving, The Opposite of a Person is a dazzling, cerebral tour-de-force, a poignant love story and an urgent, unforgettable call to arms.
'Gorgeous . . . stunning . . . An existentialist, essential story about the world we live in, which explores the complex role and place of us humans in it.'- Marieke Lucas Rijneveld, author of the International Booker Prize-winning The Discomfort of Evening
'Swirling, stirring, surprising, The Opposite of a Person channels its forked curiosity into asking not only how a person should be, what a society should do, but also what a book can and should accomplish. A novel for the end-times, in the best possible way.' - Polly Barton, author of Fifty Sounds
'The experience of reading The Opposite of a Person is like walking on shifting ground. It's unnerving, dynamic, almighty in its force. I was consumed by this book.' - Saba Sams, author of Send Nudes
'An extraordinary and gripping novel of ideas.' - NRC Handelsblad
'A surprisingly playful novel . . . Every page is engaging.' - De Groene Amsterdammer
