Familieziek (Repatriated), Peter van Dongen’s graphic adaptation of the literary classic by Adriaan van Dis.
This special edition has a brilliant blue linnen hard cover and contains additional imagery for the serious fan.
‘Their little brother. Born shortly after the war, an accident, just after the camps… He was hidden under her hunger edema. Smuggler’s child, during the crossing. At home they call him boy, kid, or after the last job he performed: scourer, sweeper, duster, stoker. And sometimes, if the girls are feeling generous, they call him, very sweetly, brother.’
Peter van Dongen reworked the eponymous novella by Adriaan van Dis into a graphic novel. A story in scenes about a family from the former Dutch Indies who try to make a new life for themselves in 1950s Holland. Sisters whisper secrets behind the curtain. Father, obsessed by damage repairs, prepares his son for a new danger: the Russians! And amidst all this, the boy finds comfort with his shadow brother, whose presence he can feel but whose existence he can never mention.
Repatriated is a moving story and a striking portrait of a father-son relationship that’s tainted by trauma and fear.
