Pauline de Bok — Blankow, or the Longing for Heimat
About the authors: Pauline de Bok, born in 1956, lives in Amsterdam. She studied theology and philosophy and works as a journalist and author. Blankow was nominated for the M. J. Brusse Prize in 2008 and for the Annalise Wagner Prize in 2010.
Waltraud Hüsmert, born in 1951 in Werdohl, studied Dutch, German and art history in Berlin and Leiden in the Netherlands. Since 1981 she has worked as a freelance translator and lives in Berlin.
Summary: A woman from Amsterdam who settles with her dog on an estate in Mecklenburg encounters cold, dampness and an unwelcoming environment. In ruined buildings and in the soil she finds traces of the lives of earlier inhabitants, talks with local people, reconstructs history — and learns to live in solitude. Pauline de Bok undertook a unique adventure and created a remarkable book about Germany, a book that, as Geert Mak says, is “full of rumors and fragmentary stories, a vivid example of slow journalism.”
