When Frankie Hermans emerges from a coma after 200 days, he knows his life is never going to be the same again. For a start, he can’t talk, he can’t walk and it’s a struggle even to wield a pen. And then there’s Joe Speedboat — a boy who arrived in the sleepy village of Lomark like a blazing comet and who’s been stirring things up ever since. Whether setting off bombs, racing mopeds or building a bi-plane, Joe has the touch of a magician and the spirit of a daredevil. He also sees a use for Frankie’s good right arm beyond writing: as a champion arm-wrestler Frankie will be strong enough to impress his friends, and maybe even win the favour of the gorgeous, golden-haired girl who has them all in a spin. Full of vitality, verve and chutzpah, Joe Speedboat tells the fast-paced story of an unlikely friendship between two boys, and of their lightning dash towards adulthood. PRAISE FOR TOMMY WIERINGA ‘Joe Speedboat is never just another would-be inspirational read about overcoming adversity … Expertly translated from the Dutch by Sam Garrett, Tommy Wieringa's novel offers a rewarding journey into the unfamiliar. It is also witty, thoughtful and surprisingly tender.’ The Independent (UK) ‘[A] brilliant coming-of-age story with an outlandish twist … There are more coming-of-age novels than dikes in Holland, but this wonderfully weird novel is not one to miss.’ Publishers Weekly

“A brilliant coming-of-age story with an outlandish twist . . . this wonderfully weird novel is not one to miss.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review After a farming accident plunges him into a coma for six months, Frankie Hermans wakes up to discover that he’s paralyzed and mute. Bound to a wheelchair, Frankie struggles to adjust to a life where he must rely on others to complete even the simplest tasks. The only body part he can control is his right arm, which he uses obsessively to record the details of daily life in his town in Holland. But when he meets Joe—a boy who blazed into his sleepy rural town like a meteor while Frankie slept—everything changes. Joe is a centrifugal force, both magician and daredevil, and he alone sees potential strength in Frankie’s handicaps. With Joe’s help, Frankie’s arm will be used for more than just writing: as a champion arm-wrestler, Frankie will be powerful enough to win back his friends, and maybe even woo P.J., the girl who has them all in a tailspin . . . From the award-winning author of These arethe Names, Joe Speedboat is “[an] offbeat story of a group of boys searching for meaning . . .This work conjures John Irving’s A Prayer for Owen Meany but with a lighter touch” (Library Journal). “Witty, thoughtful and surprisingly tender.” —The Independent

Joe Speedboot is een roman over liefde en rivaliteit, over een verlosser zonder belofte en een heroïsche odyssee. Het toont het lot van nieuwkomers in een Nederlands dorp, waar de last van het onverwerkte verleden op de inwoners drukt. De tragikomische maalstroom van gebeurtenissen geeft het ingeslapen dorp een onverwachte dynamiek waar het niet meer van zal herstellen. Tommy Wieringa schreef met Joe Speedboot een gedreven, aanstekelijke ontwikkelingsroman, met een hoofdrol voor de mateloze verbeeldingskracht van één man. Fransje Hermans, de verteller van het verhaal, is na een ongeluk invalide geraakt en heeft voorgoed zijn spraakvermogen verloren. Hij is de zelfbenoemde chroniqueur van het dorp Lomark. Zijn fascinatie voor de nieuweling Joe Speedboot is grenzeloos: Joe Speedboot, de jongen die zijn eigen naam gekozen heeft en op zijn vijftiende al bommenlegger, vliegtuigbouwer en bewegingsfilosoof is. Nauwgezet observeert Fransje hoe nog een nieuwkomer de natuurlijke orde van het dorp komt verstoren: Joe's stiefvader Papa Afrika, een zachtaardige Nubiër met gazellenogen die een kleine scheepswerf begint op de oever van de Rijn. Dan verschijnt de geheimzinnige Picolien Jane, een beeldschone Zuid-Afrikaanse, aan wie Fransje zijn kronieken opdraagt en voor wie levenslange vriendschappen op het spel worden gezet. In haar komen alle verhalen samen, met noodlottige gevolgen. Op originele wijze en met speels vernuft, toont Tommy Wieringa de loop van een geschiedenis, waarin niemand aan zijn bestemming ontkomt.

Mindfulness involves learning to be more aware of life as it unfolds moment by moment, even if these moments bring us difficulty, pain or suffering. This is a challenge we will all face at some time in our lives, and which health professionals face every day in their work. The Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living programme presents a new way of learning how to face the pressures of modern living by providing an antidote which teaches us how to cultivate kindness and compassion – starting with being kind to ourselves. Compassion involves both sensitivity to our own and others’ suffering and the courage to deal with it. Integrating the work of experts in the field such as Paul Gilbert, Kristin Neff, Christopher Germer and Tara Brach, Erik van den Brink and Frits Koster have established an eight stage step-by-step compassion training programme, supported by practical exercises and free audio downloads, which builds on basic mindfulness skills. Grounded in ancient wisdom and modern science, they demonstrate how being compassionate shapes our minds and brains, and benefits our health and relationships. The programme will be helpful to many, including people with various types of chronic or recurring mental health problems, and can be an effective means of coping better with low self-esteem, self-reproach or shame, enabling participants to experience more warmth, safeness, acceptance and connection with themselves and others. Mindfulness-Based Compassionate Living will be an invaluable manual for mindfulness teachers, therapists and counsellors wishing to bring the ‘care’ back into healthcare, both for their clients and themselves. It can also be used as a self-help guide for personal practice.
