Jente Posthuma (b. 1974) debuted in 2016 with People Without Charisma, which was published to critical acclaim: Dutch newspaper Trouw described it as ‘assured, dryly funny, wholly individual.’ It was nominated for the Diraphte Literatour Prize and the Hebban Debut Prize as well as longlisted for the ANV Debutantenprijs for best debut novel.
Her second novel, What I’d Rather Not Think About (2020), has been just as well-received.
