Looked up how her Booker prize novel starts:
>I was ten and stopped taking off my coat. That morning, Mum had covered us one by one in udder ointment to protect us from the cold. It came out of a yellow Bogena tin and was normally used to prevent dairy cows’ teats from getting cracks, calluses and cauliflower-like lumps. The tin’s lid was so greasy you could only screw it off with a tea-towel. It smelled of stewed udder, the thick slices I’d sometimes find cooking in a pan of stock on our stove, sprinkled with salt and pepper. They filled me with horror, just like the reeking ointment on my skin. Mum pressed her fat fingers into our faces like the round cheeses she patted to check whether the rind was ripening. Our pale cheeks shone in the light of the kitchen bulb, which was encrusted with fly shit. For years we’d been planning to get a lampshade, a pretty one with flowers, but whenever we saw one in the village, Mum could never make up her mind.

It sounds more repulsive and fattening in dutch than it does in english for some reason. It comes close but the feeling doesn't really translate well. One might also be mistaken by thinking this passage wasn't written from the perspective of a unique type of bumpkin, the dutch "Lompe Boer".

Heavenly Favorite, I’ll tell you right now: during that persistent high season I should have removed you with a hoof knife from the dermis like an ulcer, I should have made space between the crevasse of the dermis so muck and grime would fall from between it and nobody would be able to infect you, maybe I should had only peeled you and polished you with the cutter, should had washed you and wiped you with shavings. How could I possibly forget the warning I got during my training to become a veterinarian in the lessons on claw trimming and lesions on the coronary band, on consternation, on Mortellaro’s disease, also known as stinkypaw, how they kept repeating ad nauseam that you should be careful that you don’t cut the dermis, never hurt the true skin, they said time and time again, but my weakness, my inadequacy! That stubborn summer you lay as a foal in breech position in the delivery room of my ailing desires, I was the follower of folly, I did not know how not to want you, you, the heavenly favorite, and the more I sat crouched between the steaming bodies of the Blaarkoppen and felt your presence in the grass further down that had just been mowed and that was enveloped by evergreen candytuft, where you sat for hours underneath the pear tree semi-bent over your snow-white guitar neck practicing a song by The Cranberries, ........................

She’s talking about how she saw this artwork the first time when she was doing a writing residency in Paris and how Jesus was her second love, the first being her elementary school teacher. But she loved her teacher more since she was able to sit in her lap and Jesus couldn’t offer her the same.

=MOST BEAUTIFUL ARTWORK=
I saw the video installation "Mary" from the artist Bill Viola for the first time a few years ago, when I was at a writer's workshop in Paris. Ik had never heard of Bill Viola, but when I walked into the Grand Palais and saw this, I was sold. On the video you see Mary with the lifeless body of Jesus. Along with the female teachers I loved, my first love was Jesus. I was raised a Protestant and I was read to from the Bible both at school and at home. Though to be honest, I was in love with the female teacher more than with Jesus, because took me onto her lap and Jesus -- with all those people who believe in him -- can't hold a candle to that. That video touched me. How Mary was holding her son close, with one hand around his shoulder and the other around his knee. You can see the disbelief and the pain in her eyes, but also the infinite lvoe that she felt for him.
Oh my fucking god it's just a cheap reproduction of La Pieta with a negroid actor playing Jesus

This whole thing feels like if a novel had a subplot about a novel. Like how the films that people in films watch are always one more level of surreal than the film itself. This is the book that you would come up with if your novel featured a subplot about a novel.

They come in a few types that I've discovered
These types I've come across include:
Hopelessly vain people who are exactly as you described,
>obsessed with their appearence, with posting selfies and attempting to control how other people perceive them
The ones using the gender bender as a fad. Hiding behind anime profile pictures and shitposting until society's views change focus.
and
The ones who view their birth gender as an honest to God birth defect - usually the most based and while likely to have real trauma as opposed to percieved trauma are usually pretty chill about it.

I'm no perfessor oak but they usually fall into one of these few camps.

What an utter fucking retard. Nescio’s incorporation of colloquial language was common across modernist literature of all languages. In fact, he was quite early to the party considering most of his shit was published in the early 1910’s. He also has some of the most sublime sentences written in the Dutch language.

JK Rowling is more acclaimed than, say, Edoardo Sanguineti.
Being "acclaimed" is not an aesthetic discovery, nor is it a sign of one. In fact, it's usually the opposite: only that which can be easily absorbed (i.e., is cliché) can get widely acclaimed from the beginning, with few historical exceptions.
Clearly you don't know how to read, which is why you look for who is acclaimed and who isn't. If you knew how to read, you'd recognize her style is mere imitation, perhaps even pastiche, of a certain style that emerged (mostly in English, actually) during the mid-20th century, with strong derivations from 19th century (Flaubertian, detail-based - although of course Flaubert himself was much more than that) realism.
At least to judge from that paragraph.
I read some other stuff by her and it was worse. Quite kitsch, sometimes. For example: >>20475751
No idea if the original Dutch is better, but doesn't look like it is. There are even three or four interesting turns in it, which explains why some critics may like her, but overall it is terrible kitsch and a collection of clichés which every well-read person has encountered a few times before.
I'd say it's good for a creative writing student/teacher, not for a real writer though.

Anglo sphere is just insular really. Compare it to the Houellebecq translations. Even those international authors considered big and literary – whom other European languages respect and more often or sooner translate – to the overall anglophone publishing landscape, are not considered a priority. Even if you're a Booker winner and can be marketed as trans, there's enough of those around, and ultimately (regardless of the quality) they just blend in among so many other NYT-blurbed books.
