Zan de Melker is a beautiful but eccentric woman. She is Zan of the unpredictable seizures and Xusan of the mysterious glass room. She's the Susan whose inappropriate sexual behaviour scandalises the community she lives in. And she is Xan the political activist, and sometimes Xusan Dimelaki, star of the Amsterdam stage. Zan's nephew Henk de Melker is a museum assistant in a small Eastern Cape town. Self-effacing and introverted, he is a meticulous researcher who writes slim monographs of unremarkable historical figures. Out of the blue, he receives a letter from an Amsterdam lawyer informing him that his long-lost Aunt Zan has died and has left him her house in the city. He must come to Amsterdam to claim his inheritance. But Henk is unprepared for what awaits him in Amsterdam. Not only does he have to decide whether to move there permanently, or give up his aunt's legacy, but he finds himself being drawn into the maelstrom of life in the Dutch city with its canal belt, pickpockets, prostitutes and street musicians. More than this, he finds that he himself is changing in a way that forces him to confront his past - those secrets of his childhood that were 'never talked out'. The thirty nights he spends in Amsterdam will change him for ever.

Henk Andreas de Melke, lowly museum assistant in a small town in the Easter Cape, is unexpectedly informed that he is the sole beneficiary of his late, long-lost Aunt Zan's estate. Her final years were apparently spent in Amsterdam.Zan was a beautiful but eccentric woman, but she was prone to seizures and extremely unsociable behaviour...but her 'other life' - her political activism, her acting ability, her involvement in cloak-and-dagger scenarios - was known to very few.Upon arriving in Amsterdam, Henk soon finds that his own life becomes inextricably bound to that of his late aunt. During the course of thirty nights in Holland's capital city many secrets are revealed, and Henk returns to South Africa with the knowledge that his life will never be the same again.

Henk de Melker is museumassistent in een dorpje in Zuid-Afrika. Hij is een introverte, nauwgezette onderzoeker, die een monografie schrijft over de onbekende broer van Vincent van Gogh. Op een dag ontvangt hij een brief van een Amsterdamse advocaat. Zijn excentrieke tante Zan, met wie hij al jaren geen contact meer heeft, is overleden. Zan de Melker was een betoverende vrouw met meerdere persoonlijkheden. Ze was zowel Zan van de plotselinge epileptische aanvallen als Xusan van de mysterieuze glazen kamer. Ze was Susan, die met haar onbeschaamde seksuele uitspattingen de Zuid-Afrikaanse gemeenschap te schande maakte. Xan, de politiek activiste, en Xusan Dimelaki, ster van het Amsterdamse theater. Zan laat Henk haar huis na, op voorwaarde dat hij naar Amsterdam komt. Onvoorbereid op wat hem daar te wachten staat, gaat Henk op reis. De tijd is aangebroken om de geheimen uit zijn jeugd onder ogen te zien. Na dertig nachten in Amsterdam zal hij nooit meer dezelfde zijn. Etienne van Heerden (1954) is een van de belangrijkste hedendaagse auteurs van Zuid-Afrika. Hij heeft inmiddels een tiental boeken op zijn naam staan, waaronder De betoverde berg, Het zwijgen van Mario Salviati en In plaats van liefde. Zijn werk wordt wereldwijd vertaald. Voor 30 nachten in Amsterdam ontving hij onder andere de WA Hofmeyr prys 2009 en de Hertzog prys 2010. Van Heerden is als hoogleraar verbonden aan de universiteit van Kaapstad. 'Van Heerden schittert als verteller... Tante Zans rijke, vulgaire verhalen, in eerste persoon verteld, vormen een hoogtepunt in zijn oeuvre.' DIE BURGER

The 20th century has witnessed crucial changes in our perceptions of Europe. Two World Wars and many regional conflicts, the end of empires and of the Eastern Bloc, the creation and expansion of the European Union, and the continuous reshaping of Europe’s population through emigration, immigration, and globalization have led to a proliferation of images of Europe within the continent and beyond. While Eurocentrism governs current public debates in Europe, this book takes a special interest in literary and cinematographic imaginings of Europe that are produced from more distant, decentred, or peripheral vantage points and across differences of political power, ideological or ethnic affinity, cultural currency, linguistic practice, and geographical location. The contributions to this book demonstrate how these particular imaginings of Europe, often without first-hand experience of the continent, do not simply hold up a mirror to Europe, but dare to conceive of new perspectives and constellations for Europe that call for a shifting of critical positions. In so doing, the artistic visions from afar confirm the significance of cultural imagination in (re)conceptualizing the past, present, and future of Europe. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Postcolonial Writing.

Over the past decade ‘singularity’ has been a prominent term in a broad range of fields, ranging from philosophy to literary and cultural studies to science and technology studies. This volume intervenes in this broad discussion of singularity and its various implications, proposing to explore the term for its specific potential in the study of literature. Singularity and Transnational Poetics brings together scholars working in the fields of literary and cultural studies, translation studies, and transnational literatures. The volume’s central concern is to explore singularity as a conceptual tool for the comparative study of contemporary literatures beyond national frameworks, and by implication, as a tool to analyze human existence. Contributors explore how singularity might move our conceptions of cultural identity from prevailing frameworks of self/other toward the premises of being as ‘singular plural’. Through a close reading of transnational literatures from Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands, France, and South Africa, this collection offers a new approach to reading literature that will challenge a reader’s established notions of identity, individuality, communicability, and social cohesion.
