Gelezen; “Mijn Lieve Gunsteling” van Lucas Rijneveld en “Vuur” van John Boyne
"Mijn Lieve Gunsteling" en "Vuur" zijn allebei boeken over misbruik van jonge tieners door volwassenen. "Gunsteling" van Lucas Rijneveld (ook gekend van "De avond is ongemak") is prachtig geschreven, maar het graaft door de ogen van de pleger héél diep in de getormenteerde psyche van zowel slachtoffer als pleger. Het bleek daardoor voor mij bijna ondragelijk emotioneel intens en ik heb de 363 pagina's maar beetje bij beetje kunnen lezen. "Niet elk goed boek is ook leuk om te lezen" schreef […] -

This is about the only article on the story which doesn't go for a "Pity Me, I'm a Terf" angle that the Straights are pushing...

The Transphobes are being awful to the Queer authors who have pulled out of the Polari Prize because of that bigot and his victimhood complex.
How many Trans kids will die while you're feeling sorry for yourself for being called out, like your mate Joanne...
Remember, with the 'phobes their feelings are worth more than the whole Queer community combined, and the Press gives them equal weight.#PolariPrize #JohnBoyne #TransRightsAreHumanRights #TERF #TerfIsland #LGBTQIA

Imagine how Trans Kids are feeling every day John....

You're having a guy on who exploits the Holocaust and whom the Auschwitz Museum has a problem with, and now he's picking on Trans People and siding with JK Rowling, who isn't adverse to a bit of Antisemitism to sell a story either...

Just finished reading All The Broken Places by John Boyne. It is sort of a sequel to The Boy In Striped Pyjamas. So make sure you have read that first.
Gretel Fernsby leads a quiet comfortable life in London despite her dark and disturbing past. She doesn’t talk about her escape from Germany and she doesn’t talk about her father, the commandant of one of the most notorious Nazi concentration camps.

By googling ingredients of a red dye for his historical novel A Traveller at the Gates of Wisdom, John Boyne accidentally included the fictional components from the game Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This follows his previous novel that featured blue hedgehogs.
