Julien Ignacio (1969) writes and publishes, among other things, short stories, articles, novels, and texts for theater. Ignacio studied literary science and worked as a teacher and editor in the Netherlands.
'Goudjakhals' is a collection of stories of migrants who let their voices resonate. Each voice is a personal quest for freedom and gives a face to the people trying to establish themselves in a foreign country. The stories take the reader to different countries, situations, and characters throughout time. 'Kus' is a novel about a father who gets back in touch with his son after he fell and went into a coma.
'Dat wij zongen' is an anthology of stories by twenty contemporary Caribbean authors. Stories about Caribbean authors from previous eras that they admire and that inspired them. Ignacio produced the last publication with Raoul de Jongh and Michiel van Kempen.
