Die heimatlose Erzählerin verlässt New York, um am Internationalen Gerichtshof als Dolmetscherin zu arbeiten. Als sie Adriaan kennenlernt, scheint Den Haag zur Antwort ihrer Sehnsüchte zu werden. Doch dann verschwindet er zu seiner Noch-Ehefrau und hinterlässt nichts als Fragen. Fragen, die sich zu einem existenziellen Abgrund auftun, als sie für einen angeklagten westafrikanischen Kriegsverbrecher dolmetschen muss und zweifelt: Was ist kalkulierte Lüge, was Wahrheit? Glauben nur noch die Naiven an Gerechtigkeit? Wer kann über wen richten? Wer legt unsere Weltordnung fest? Kitamuras kraftvoller Roman ist ein anregendes intellektuelles Vergnügen mit hypnotischer Sogwirkung. Intimitäten wird fesselnd von Katja Danowski gesprochen.

Intimacies: A Barack Obama Summer 2021 Reading Pick
Brought to you by Penguin. From the author of A Separation, a taut and electrifying story about a woman caught between many truths. An interpreter has come to The Hague to escape New York and work at the International Court. A woman of many languages and identities, she is looking for a place to finally call home. She's drawn into simmering personal dramas: her lover, Adriaan, is separated from his wife but still entangled in his marriage. Her friend Jana witnesses a seemingly random act of violence, a crime the interpreter becomes increasingly obsessed with as she befriends the victim's sister. And she's pulled into an explosive political controversy when she's asked to interpret for a former president accused of war crimes. A woman of quiet passion, she confronts power, love, and violence, both in her personal intimacies and in her work at the Court. She is soon pushed to the precipice, where betrayal and heartbreak threaten to overwhelm her, forcing her to decide what she wants from her life. © Katie Kitamura 2021 (P) Penguin Audio 2021
