»Gaea Schoeters: Trophy«

Description

Gaea Schoeter's award-winning novel is provocative, radical and a narrative exception. The depth of field with which she describes the sounds and smells of nature allows you to experience sensually what leads you morally to the boundaries between right and wrong. Hunter, extremely rich, American and enthusiastic hunter, had already killed almost everything. Finally his friend Van Heeren offers him a rhino to shoot. Hunter travels to Africa, but his project to fill the Big Five is suddenly thwarted by poachers. Hunter seeks revenge when Van Heeren asks him if he's ever heard of the Big Six. At first Hunter is shocked, but as he watches the young Africans nimbly hunting... In the end the question remains: What is a human life worth?

Gaea Schoeters, born in 1976, is a Flemish author, journalist, librettist and screenwriter. For Trophy she was awarded the Sabam for Culture literary prize.
