Writer Leonieke Baerwaldt combines her deep love for the sea with an admiration for slightly eccentric people. In her stories, a mother and her daughter lead a nomadic life, a factory worker dreams of opening a tropical fish market, two lovers in rehab decide to build a house together, a mermaid ventures onto land to meet her prince. Leonieke’s fairytales take a surprising turn, sharpening the vulnerability of relationships. Let yourself be lulled by the words of Leonieke –which move along with the rhythms of the underwater world – in the short story City Night, published in Extra Extra n°18.
