Biography
Bea Vianen was of both African and Indian ancestry. At the age of eight, her mother died of tuberculosis, and she was put in a Catholic foster home.[3] Vianen went to the Netherlands in 1957 for her Bachelor of Education.[4] Vianen wrote mainly in Dutch, but occasionally in Sranan Tongo,[5] and her writing contained many autobiographical elements.[6] Her first novel was Sarnami, Hai or "Surinam I am" in 1969,[5] a coming of age story of a young East Indian girl in a country torn apart by religious and ethnic differences, and a colonial past.[6] It's a bleak story set in a world without love, but also about a young woman who persists in life.[7]
Vianen also wrote poetry, which has been collected in Liggend stilstaan bij blijvende monumenten (1975).[6] In 1978, she started to work for Avenue for whom she travelled to places like Peru, Colombia and Ecuador. The journeys resulted in many poems, and many personal dramas.[3]
Vianen was an admirer of the Trinidadian novelist V. S. Naipaul.[5] Vianen died in Paramaribo on 6 January 2019 at the age of 83.[2]
