Leesclub Femma: 'Trophy' of Gaea Schoeters

'Trophy' by Gaea Schoeters is an ode to wild nature and a sharp critique of our relationship with Africa. Hunter White lives for big game hunting: in that ultimate showdown with nature, he feels he is alive. But when he leaves for Africa to shoot a rhinoceros, the last of the big five he is still missing, fate gives the hunt a different turn. His dream soon turns into a nightmare that brings him ever closer to the darkness in his own heart. Is there a way back? Gaea Schoeters is a Belgian author. She is best known for her novel Trophy, which was nominated for several literary prizes, including the EU Prize for Literature.
