Dichter aan huis

Tsead Bruinja

The city of the Hague has a festival, where poets read their poetry in private houses to a small group of listeners. Apart from enjoying the lecture and discussion with interesting people, this gives the opportunity to have a glimpse into some very interesting private homes. Thanks to the organisers, the poets and the friendly people who were willing to allow groups of strangers into their houses

Blogs: Uferloses Geschimpfe aus einem Weltbild der Gekraenktheit und Wut

The Goethe Institute in Amsterdam organises a series of talks in which a Dutch and a German author are confronted: last friday these were Arnon Grunberg and Daniel Kehlmann
"Mitleid fuer geschundene Dinge" (the stage at Felix Meritis in Amsterdam)
Grunberg: "Faellt es ihnen einfacher, ein Gespraech mit einem Hund als mit einem Menschen anzufangen?"
Kehlmann: "Hunde sind unterhaltsamer..."
"Das richtige Bild ist das, das die anderen von einem haben"
