"If Italo Calvino decided to make one of his invisible cities
visible, the result might look something like Pfeijffer's Genoa."
-- Benjamin Moser An absolute joy to read, La Superba, winner of
the most prestigious Dutch literary prize, is a Rabelaisian,
stylistic tour-de-force about a writer who becomes trapped in his
walk on the wild side in mysterious and exotic Genoa, centering on
the stories of migration and immigration, legal and illegal,
telling the story of modern Europe. Part migrant story, part
perverse travel guide, La Superba is a wholly postmodern ode to the
imagination that lovingly describes the labyrinthine and magical
city that Pfeijffer calls home: Genoa, Italy, the city known as La
Superba for its beauty and rich history. Ilja Leonard Pfeijffer (b.
1968), poet, dramatist, novelist, renowned in the Netherlands as a
master of language, is the only two-time winner of the Tzum Prize
for "the most beautiful sentence written in Dutch" (including one
in La Superba!).
