Papegaai vloog over de IJssel

Abdolah’s own experience as an immigrant seems to shape the stories deeply. I wonder what personal stories or history inspired these reflections on identity and belonging.

The stories seem to explore how cultural practices evolve or fade over time, especially in immigrant communities. I’d love to know if readers felt this tension was authentic or exaggerated.

That specific setting feels like a symbol of crossing and transition. I’m curious whether Abdolah has a personal connection to that place or if it’s primarily symbolic.
