Het Woord uit Noord – our favourite monthly dose of culture – is expanding! Introducing De Boekenclub, a monthly book club spotlighting local authors and featuring works aligning with our monthly theme.
Guided by Lot Douze, one of Het Woord uit Noord’s lovely hosts, the book club will talk about Aanklacht Tegen Onbekend (‘Charges against unknown’) by Hermine de Graaf.
Forty years after its original publication, Aanklacht tegen onbekend by Hermine de Graaf is being reissued. This revival is an initiative of Fixdit, an activist group dedicated to increasing the visibility of female authors. De Graaf, who has since passed away, wrote books that were sharp, unconventional, and urgent. The perfect opportunity for De Boekenclub to rediscover her work and to find out what makes it just as relevant today?
But this is not just any book club: Lot, with over 12 years of experience leading reading groups, brings her expertise and passion for literature to create conversations that inspire. And the conversation doesn’t stop at the end of this evening. One week after the book club meetup, during the following month’s Het Woord uit Noord, we dive deeper into the group’s insights and questions with none other than the author themselves. So, mark your calendars for the 3rd of March, where Jannah Loontjens, a member of Fixdit, will join Lot for an in-depth interview. It’s not often a book club can go so deep!
Don’t wait too long to reserve your seat! Our little library is waiting, we’ve got coffee to brew and pages to burn through. The ticket price includes your copy of the book. So who’s ready for Aanklacht Tegen Onbekend?
