Title: Phrases Just Right, Startling
Review: "The Professor" is a gem embedded in a sleek silver bracelet. A fantastic novel like the South American variety. Reoccurring phrases are just right, startling.The last member of a Dutch colonial family lives on an island in the Moluccas (the Spice Islands, now of Indonesia). Section one lyrically describes the island. Section two flashes back to her girlhood with her grandmother; her return from schooling in Holland, where she had a baby; the baby's growth; and the circumstances of his death. Section three is formed by three independent short stories in which a murder occurs. In the fourth section, Felicia, "the lady of the Small Garden," meets the ghosts of those murdered in the previous section and tries to come to terms with the semantic distinction between "being killed" and "dying."First published in Dutch in 1955. Translated by Hans Koning.
