Reviews

On Ik zal je nooit meer

‘A voice of her generation.’ – de Volkskrant

‘Enchanting writing style […] Edgy and at the same time soft and open-hearted.’ – Het Parool

On Knap voor een dik meisje

‘Very personal and outspoken […] Knap voor een dik meisje is comparable to Hungerby Roxane Gay, who wanted the voice of fat people to be heard in a society oriented on slimness.’ Trouw

“In her critically acclaimed book Knap voor een dik meisje, Tatjana Almuli talks about how she came to accept her body after decades of self-hatred, and she passionately fights against fat shaming and all the stigmas surrounding being fat.” Vogue
