You just care about her boy band image. You don't know how to read. Her books are middlebrow shit.

I had mixed feelings about "The Discomfort of Evening." Probably won't be reading his second book until it comes out in English in 2024.

>>20574805
If she is a he why the feminine haircut? Is the ambiguity (he or she) intentional?

>>20575085
I think so, what with the dual masculine and feminine first names. Anyway, I think of him as male.

>>20574805
So all the time it was just one obsessed guy posting about her. And I almost bought his book.

>>20574805
Hmmmm. I think i should read Booker Award winning novelist and poet Marieke Lucas Rijneveld.

>>20575205
No, there's at least one other guy.

>>20575221
haha good for you

I really don't like writers who are still alive

>>20574805
It’s a crime against the Dutch language that Nescio, Nooteboom, Reve and Brouwers are still not appreciated in the Anglophone world while this uninspired dreck receives accolade after accolade. Yet cretins here joke that the Dutch don’t have literature.

Any french anon who has read the translation of his second novel?

>>20575552
I love his blue blue eyes and the little bit of peach fuzz on his upper lip.

>>20574805
>omg look at me i'm so androgynous haha i'm totally non binary i'm such an adorable non binary naif looking moppet look at me look at me i'm totally like david bowie look at how i stare off camera at an angle like an alien i'm thinking such deep thoughts but you won't know about them because i'll just glance at you out of the corner of my eye and have a vacant expression but believe me they're really deep look at me oh today i'm using different pronouns and did i mention i'm non binary i bet that totally blows your mind
this person is 31 years old

>>20575584
Seeething. You either want to be with me or be me

At first I was sceptical because the whole non binary thing is hip nowadays, but I really enjoyed this semi-autobiographical book. It was genuinely funny and has an unexpected raw, graphic edge to it.

>>20575584
>this person is 31 years old
I know. He's really beautiful.

Is there any hope for a movie adaptation of My Heavenly Favorite?

>>20576225
There will be shitty Dutch adaptations for sure that will be sent in to the Academy as the Dutch submission for the foreign language Oscar but won’t be nominated. You read it here first.

>>20575618
I agree. MLR is probably the only person in the world I would agree to call "they."

>>20575102
Does her body produce male sex hormones? Or does she merely purchase them from a pharmacist? Does this individual have male gonads and produce male gametes?
No, yes, no, no.
Cope and dilate tranny.

>>20576832
He doesn't take hormones; he's all natural. Cope and dilate yourself.

Got your tickets to the gun show?

>>20577246
Nice and sexy back

>>20574805

>>20574805
>him
>nonbinary
clearly you don't really love him, since he goes by "it"

>>20577575
That’s a T-shirt

>>20578711

>>20575552
thx Anon for informing me the french translation is out. Also if you care I wholeheartedly advice in learning french. Its really fun

I'd figure the French to be more conducive to the long sentences.

>>20579723
That’s a woman

>>20580424
Sounds like you're struggling with some confused feelings.

>>20580996
Looks absolutely like a woman to me, no ambiguity

>>20580996
Is this supposed to be funny?

>>20581023
No, I just want you to know you're in a judgment-free zone.

>>20581036
Her judgment to call herself male is free of any facts. So you’ve misspoken. Marieke will always be perfectly XX chromosomal

>>20581045
Nah, I don't think so. Anyway, be sure to pick up "The Discomfort of Evening" so you're ready for "My Heavenly Favorite" when it finally comes out in English.

>>20574805
the book was all right but could've skipped the child being filled with bull semen :D

>>20582272
That was the hottest part. That and her shoving soap through her anus

>>20581036

>Rijneveld identifies as both male and female, and adopted the second first name Lucas at the age of nineteen, having been bullied during secondary education because of his "boyishness".[9] At the start of January 2022, Rijneveld announced that he uses he/him personal pronouns in English,[10] having previously used they/them pronouns,[11] and zij/haar (she/her) in Dutch.[12]

>>20582272
in what language did you read the book. Is the french translation out yet? cant seem to find it

>>20582272
What exactly does that mean?

>>20582494
That's referring to "The Discomfort of Evening." The French translation of "My Heavenly Favorite" is out and available on Amazon.fr.

Mari-ACKfag, we get it

>>20582508
The main character inseminates one of her school friends using a gun typically applied to cows.

>>20582513
I liked the part where her brother asks for a password and she does the Nai salute

Thoughts?

>>20576916
She's a woman then.

>man is unsatisfied with life until he realizes he is trans
>women is unhappy until she cheats with her bf with an explicitly black immigrant who shows her the wild side of life and sex
>mom finds liberty by leaving her husband

Rijneveld MUST be Jewish

>>20575102
>masculine first names
Lmfao.

>>20582808
No worse, dutch.

>>20582789
Pretty good, especially the first stanza although
>the other side, the sunny destination
is ambiguous given what it ended up meaning in Discomfort. Just thought it was funny

>>20582808
What are you even talking about

>>20579723
is there any translation of his poetry?

>>20584117
Only online: >>20582789

>>20582808

>>20582510
Thanks for the reply. Didn't find it in amazon but in fnac. The translation as it seems will be shipped out in august 25th

>no English translation until February 2024

Why tho

>>20574805
Who the fuck is that?

>>20587098
None of your business, jerk

>>20586028
I fucking know, what a bunch of bullshit. i'm going to find the publishers and inject them with bull semen like in the book.

>>20587098
Try to contain your horniness.

>>20576916
Dilate her fakedick, punk.

>>20574805
She's a cutie cute cute!

>>20588301
This guy gets it.
