Genre


Saskia Goldschmidt (Amsterdam, 1954) worked as a youth theatre producer and trainer of hospital staff and debuted in 2009 with Verplicht gelukkig (Compulsory Happiness), an autobiographical non-fiction book about growing up in the shadow of the Holocaust. The success of her debut and the discovery of documents about the rise of the pharmaceutical giant Organon (producers of the contraceptive pill), prompted her to write this novel. The Hormone Factory was an instant success in the Netherlands and rights have already been sold to Germany, Israel and the United States.

Pedagogiek van de hoop

“A story in which testosterone and estrogen grab the characters by the throat.”
Saskia Goldschmidt, The Hormone Factory

“That fatherhood could produce such strong feelings of connection, that it would awaken the protective instinct in me, was something I’d never expected.”
Saskia Goldschmidt, The Hormone Factory

“Women are the Achilles’ heel of anyone calling himself a man. We all get taken in by them, somehow, sometime. We may think it’s our brain that drives our body, like the diesel engine that drove the truck collecting the urine of pregnant mares, but in fact we are constantly at the mercy of our pecker, our dick, our cock”
Saskia Goldschmidt, The Hormone Factory
