Literarischer Sommer: Raoul de Jong liest aus „Jaguarmann“
In the organizer's words:
At the age of 28, Raoul de Jong meets his Surinamese father for the first time at Amsterdam Central Station - a meeting with consequences: Fascinated by his father's story of a medicine man among his ancestors who can transform himself into a jaguar, he sets off in his father's footsteps to the heated city of Paramaribo, deep into the Amazon rainforest and back to the Netherlands, where he performs a seven-day ritual in his apartment. By traveling to the homeland of his ancestors, meeting Surinamese authors and practicing the foreign cults, he reinterprets history and transforms his father, as well as other enslaved people, into heroes.
Moderator: Maren Jungclaus, Literaturbüro NRW
