On a Woman’s Madness (Two Lines Press), by 2021 Dutch Literature Prize winner Astrid Roemer, is reissued from its original 1982 publication, translated from the Dutch by Lucy Scott. Recognized as a hallmark LGBTQ+ novel of its time, Roemer’s novel follows Noenka, fleeing an abusive marriage in a reclamatory act of self-searching, taking her from rural Suriname to its capital, Paramaribo. Roemer was the first Surinamese writer to win the Dutch Literature Prize; this is the first time On a Woman’s Madness has appeared in English.
