Rail 5: Rendez-vous with Flagey

Showtimes: 11 December 2008 - 20:00

The new Radiobooks session will take place on December 11, with two new Dutch-language authors and the texts they have written specially for the occasion. Remember the way it works? A previously unpublished work written by an author, read in public once, then broadcast on radio and available for internet download.

Stephan Enter’s first book – the short story collection Winternanden - was published in 1999 to critical acclaim and was nomitated for the ‘2000 Libris Literatuur Prize’. He published his first novel, Lichtjaren, in 2004, also nominated for the same prize. They were also nominated for the ‘Gerard Walschap’ prize. Enter’s last novel is called Spel.

Menno Wigman is a poet, translator and anthropologist, and a leading figure in the “new romantic” generation. Clearly influenced by the decadent poets, his melancholy poems  evoke music and love. Ever since his 1997 debut with ‘s Zomers stinken alle steden, critics and readers have enjoyed his poems’ musical rhythm and apparent simplicity. He has also published translations and anthologies, and is well known for his stage appearances in front of large audiences.
