- (Astrid Roemer translated from Dutch by Lucy Scott., "Originally published in 1982 by Uitgeverij In de Knipscheer, Haarlem Since 2016 published by Uitgeverij Prometheus, Amsterdam"--Title page verso., An image-filled, fragmentary novel exploring feminism, identity, race, sexuality, and motherhood -- Translated into sensuous English for the first time by Lucy Scott, Astrid Roemer's intimate novel--with its tales of plantation-dwelling snakes, rare orchids, and star-crossed lovers--is a blistering meditation on the cruelties we inflict on those who disobey. Roemer, the first Surinamese winner of the prestigious Dutch Literature Prize, carves out postcolonial Suriname in barbed, resonant fragments. Who is Noenka? Roemer asks us. "I'm Noenka," she responds resolutely, "which means Never Again." -- Provided by publisher., In English. Translated from the Dutch)
