« Je voulais raconter ça, l’histoire d’une famille de pasteurs qui perd la mémoire. Traiter d’un drame, avec le plus de lumière possible. » 〈Emma Doude van Troostwijk〉
Le temps d’un séjour de quelques semaines dans sa maison d’enfance, la narratrice raconte ses retrouvailles avec sa famille, où, depuis trois générations, hommes et femmes ont choisi le métier de pasteur. Mais quand elle arrive, quelque chose de cet ordre ancien s’est profondément déréglé.
Plongez, grâce à ce subtil premier roman, dans l’atmosphère enveloppante et mystérieuse d’un presbytère. Un premier roman aux charmes puissants, tout en clair-obscur, serti de détails lumineux. Un livre bouleversant sur la mémoire, l’oubli et la puissance de la narration – pour retisser du lien.
Une grande découverte ! 〈Gallimard〉
Emma Doude van Troostwijk écrit un premier roman éminemment original. Son originalité est à la fois narrative et formelle. L’histoire est sombre, pourtant ceux qui la vivent restent libres. 〈Le Monde〉

Marriage Morning
Light, so low upon earth,
You send a flash to the sun.
Here is the golden close of love,
All my wooing is done.
Oh, all the woods and the meadows,
Woods, where we hid from the wet,
Stiles where we stayed to be kind,
Meadows in which we met!
Light, so low in the vale
You flash and lighten afar,
For this is the golden morning of love,
And you are his morning star.
Flash, I am coming, I come,
By meadow and stile and wood,
Oh, lighten into my eyes and my heart,
Into my heart and my blood!
Heart, are you great enough
For a love that never tires?
O heart, are you great enough for love?
I have heard of thorns and briers.
Over the thorns and briers,
Over the meadows and stiles,
Over the world to the end of it
Flash of a million miles.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
(1809-1892)

Evening: New York
Blue dust of evening over my city,
Over the ocean of roofs and the tall towers
Where the window-lights, myriads and myriads,
Bloom from the walls like climbing flowers.

Late, Late, so Late
Late, late, so late! and dark the night and chill!
Late, late, so late! but we can enter still.
Too late, too late! ye cannot enter now.
No light had we: for that we do repent;
And learning this, the bridegroom will relent.
Too late, too late! ye cannot enter now.
No light: so late! and dark and chill the night!
O, let us in, that we may find the light!
Too late, too late: ye cannot enter now.
Have we not heard the bridegroom is so sweet?
O, let us in, tho’ late, to kiss his feet!
No, no, too late! ye cannot enter now.”
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Crossing the Bar
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home.
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crost the bar.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
(1809-1892)

I Am Not Yours
I am not yours, not lost in you,
Not lost, although I long to be
Lost as a candle lit at noon,
Lost as a snowflake in the sea.
You love me, and I find you still
A spirit beautiful and bright,
Yet I am I, who long to be
Lost as a light is lost in light.
Oh plunge me deep in love—put out
My senses, leave me deaf and blind,
Swept by the tempest of your love,
A taper in a rushing wind.

I Thought of You
I thought of you and how you love this beauty,
And walking up the long beach all alone
I heard the waves breaking in measured thunder
As you and I once heard their monotone.
Around me were the echoing dunes, beyond me
The cold and sparkling silver of the sea—
We two will pass through death and ages lengthen
Before you hear that sound again with me.
Sara Teasdale
(1884-1933)

Milton
(Alcaics)
O mighty-mouth’d inventor of harmonies,
O skill’d to sing of Time or Eternity,
God-gifted organ-voice of England,
Milton, a name to resound for ages;
Whose Titan angels, Gabriel, Abdiel,
Starr’d from Jehovah’s gorgeous armouries,
Tower, as the deep-domed empyrean
Rings to the roar of an angel onset—
Me rather all that bowery loneliness,
The brooks of Eden mazily murmuring,
And bloom profuse and cedar arches
Charm, as a wanderer out in ocean,
Where some refulgent sunset of India
Streams o’er a rich ambrosial ocean isle,
And crimson-hued the stately palm-woods
Whisper in odorous heights of even.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
(1809-1892)

In 1980 – Ik, de zelfzuchtige aap worden de levens van Ratel, Dr. Pink, Klein Yani, Chloë, Louise-Michelle, Schmaus en Emiel de B. verder opgepakt. Anno 1980 maken zij deel uit van de no-future generatie.
De maatschappij biedt werkeloosheid, armoe en woningnood, dus zoeken ze hun heil en toekomst buiten de kleinburgerlijke paden, in de kraakscene, het activisme, new wave muziek en seksuele escapades.
Het ontredderde X-Burg, beroofd van haar textielnijverheid, biedt het stratenplan voor brutale bondige scènes, al doolt Emiel de B. liever door Berlijn. Je hoeft maar een hoek om te slaan om je vast te lopen in het verleden en te beseffen dat de onontkoombare psychogeografie van de stad in iedere steen is verankerd.

Nick J. Swarth is geboren en getogen in Tilburg, waar hij woont en werkt. Hij is een artistieke vijfpoot, actief als schrijver, dichter, performer, muzikant en beeldend kunstenaar. Eind 2020 verscheen zijn debuutroman, ‘1980 – De plasserparadox’, het eerste deel uit een trilogie over een failliete stad in het activistische jaar 1980.
Swarth was de tweede stadsdichter van Tilburg (2005-2007), hetgeen resulteerde in de bundel ‘Naked City Poems’. Andere publicaties zijn de catalogus ‘Horror Vacui | een docudrama in 14 staties’ (verslag van een schandaal verwekkend kunstproject, i.s.m. Jeroen de Leijer) en poëzie in de bundels ‘Mijn onsterfelijke lever’ en ‘¡Mondo Manga!’
Swarth is de voice ‘n’ noise van het guerrilla rock trio Betonfraktion, dat drie platen uitbracht. Het duo Swagemakers Swarth biedt improvisaties voor viool en stem. Janine Ensslin is de ideale gastvrouw voor alle denkbare gelegenheden. Ze draait evenmin haar hand om voor een fijne, eigenzinnige verhandeling op bestelling.

The Eagle
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring’d with the azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
(1809-1892)

Break, Break, Break
Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
O, well for the fisherman’s boy,
That he shouts with his sister at play!
O, well for the sailor lad,
That he sings in his boat on the bay!
And the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill;
But O for the touch of a vanish’d hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!
Break, break, break
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me.
Alfred Lord Tennyson
(1809-1892)
