CONFRONTATIONS - SIMONE ATANGANA BEKONO GEBUNDEN

Salomé was bullied for years and no one did a single thing to help her. One day she finally
snapped. Now at just sixteen years old  she's being held in a secure unit for young offenders
Salomé's counsellor  the man whose good opinion is key to her release  is best known for his
racist gaffes on reality TV. Her father has recently been diagnosed with liver cancer and her
elder sister Miriam's main preoccupation is to get out of their small  close-minded village as
soon as possible. Both at home and in the unit  things are unbearably tense. Salomé finds it
hard to keep her temper and harder still to think about the crime she is charged with
committing. But as time passes  she finds new strength to delve into the reasons for her rage
and arrive at her own understanding of punishment  penitence and the paradoxical demands made
on her existence as a Black woman. Raw and unsentimental  Confrontations is a powerful
depiction of racism and resilience from one of the Netherlands' most exciting new literary
voices.
