Het gesprek - Sholeh Rezazadeh (27 september 2023)

Annemieke Bosman praat met schrijver Sholeh Rezazadeh over haar roman Ik ken een berg die op me wacht. Ik ken een berg die op me wacht vertelt over de veertigjarige Alma die woont in een woonboot op de Amstel, een rimpelloze rivier. Ze heeft een drukke baan. Op een dag neemt ze een radicaal besluit: ze reist in haar eentje naar Iran. Daar sluit ze zich aan bij een nomadenvolk. Saray hoedt schapen en melkt geiten. Ze is verliefd op een jongen van een andere nomadenfamilie en ontmoet hem in het geheim aan de oever van de Aras, de bruisende rivier die door het ruige berglandschap dendert. Lukt het Alma om haar jachtige bestaan achter zich te laten? De nomaden leven bij de dag en eten wat de seizoenen te bieden hebben. In plaats van constant op hun iPhone te turen zijn ze verbonden met elkaar. Maar ze worden in hun voortbestaan bedreigd. Door de klimaatverandering wordt het steeds droger, Aras buldert minder en steeds meer jonge nomaden willen in de stad leven. Sholeh Rezazadeh (1989) kwam in 2015 vanuit Iran naar Nederland. Haar romandebuut De hemel is altijd paars (2021) werd bekroond met de Debutantenprijs van de Maatschappij der Nederlandse Letterkunde 2022 en met de Bronzen Uil Publieksprijs 2021. Het stond bovendien op de longlist van de Libris Literatuur Prijs 2022 en de Hebban Debuutprijs 2022. Van De hemel is altijd paars werden meer dan 25.000 exemplaren verkocht.
