SUMMARY:Amadyaz: Singer-songwriters from the Rif
DESCRIPTION:Under the name ‘Amadyaz’\, Utrecht’s musical collective Imetlaâ and friends will bring the music of iconic Northern Moroccan singer-songwriters from the 1980s back to the podium. Back then\, singers like Walid Mimoun\, Khalid Izri and Mimoun Rahmouni performed compositions that have since nestled themselves in the canon of Amazigh music from the Rif mountains. The music\, lyrics and style are inspired by centuries-old Rif musical and oral traditions like Izran\, but also by socially critical English and French singer-songwriters from the 1960s and ‘70s. One of these icons will perform as a special guest during the programme: Mimoun Rahmouni\, singer and guitarist from the band Ithran.\nPhilosopher and documentary filmmaker Khadija al Mourabit will host the performance. \nAdmission: € 22.50\nILFU members: € 18\nseated concert \nLine-up: \nMohamed Allati – Zang\, Gitaar\nDieter van der Westen – Basgitaar\, zang\nIndra Salima Kartodirdjo – Viool\, handpercussie\nMustafa Ahrouh – Zang\, adjoun\nRachid Khelifi – Drums\nHatim Khelifi – Toetsen\nMahdi Benhammou – Klarinet\, fluit en sax\nMarck Heusschen – gitaar\nMimoun Rahmouni – Zang\, gitaar\, special guest  \nMeaning\n‘Amadyas’ means ‘troubadour’ in Tamazight\, the language of the indigenous residents of the Rif mountains in Morocco. They were the musical travellers\, poets\, writers and singers who entertained people at social\, religious and festive events\, but they also carried important news from place to place.\n‘Izran’ means ‘songs’ in Tamazight\, and refers to the lyrical poetry tradition of the Rif region.\n‘Imetlaâ’ roughly translates as ‘cosmopolitans’ in Tamazight\, evoking those who lead a wandering existence.\n‘Ithran’ means ‘stars’ in Tamazight.\nAn adjoun\, also known as a ‘bendir’ or ‘genga’ outside the Rif\, is a wooden-frame drum with snares behind the skin. The instrument somewhat resembles a tambourine\, but without the metal jingles. \nWho we are: Morocco\nAt every edition of the ILFU festival\, we pay special attention to the literature and culture of a country that is strongly represented among Utrecht’s residents. The literature in these countries is often overshadowed in the media by the avalanche of new publications from America\, England and Europe. By focusing on a specific country\, we can introduce readers to the rich literary traditions of many different language areas. This year and next\, we will shine a spotlight on Morocco and its literature. \nCorona ticket needed\nIn addition to an entrance ticket\, you also need a corona admission ticket (a vaccination\, test or recovery certificate) to visit this program\, because no 1.5 meters are kept here. The corona admission ticket can be shown via the CoronaCheck app or on paper. For more information\, visit the Testing for Access website.

SUMMARY:ILFU Book Talk with Max Porter
DESCRIPTION:Regular price: € 17\,50 \nILFU-members price: € 14\,00 \nMax Porter (1981) gained international fame with his debut novel Grief is the Thing with Feathers. The novella\, divided into three and consisting of prose poems\, short fables and fragments of plays\, is about a family where the mother has passed away. He received\, among other things\, the Europese Literatuurprijs and the International Dylan Thomas Prize for his debut and Theater Rotterdam adapted it for the stage (starring among others Jacob Derwig). His second novel\, Lanny\, was nominated for the Booker Prize. This summer Porter’s new book was published\, The Death of Francis Bacon. This novel is yet again a brilliant story in which Porter records the last thoughts of the painter Francis Bacon\, who died solitarily in Madrid in 1992. It is also an attempt to catch Bacons tormented canvasses and explosive love life in poetic language. ‘Porter is one of our most exciting writers\,’ The Spectator wrote. ‘Max Porter has been renewing the novel since 2015\,’ De Standaard wrote. At ILFU Max Porter will broach the subject of his need for new narrative styles and his obsession with Francis Bacon with interviewer Alicja Gescinska. \n

SUMMARY:ILFU Children’s Programme: Gary Northfield (7+)
DESCRIPTION:You’re probably familiar with the hilarious books about Julius Zebra\, the fearless zebra who becomes a gladiator and goes on adventures in the Roman Empire\, Egypt and England. Now\, Gary Northfield\, the writer of the Julius Zebra books\, is coming to Utrecht especially for the ILFU! \nTo tie into the theme of this year’s Children’s Book Week\, ‘Worden wat je wil’ (Becoming what you want’\, Edward van de Vendel will interview Northfield about his book Hoe word ik een gladiator? and about the profession of ‘author-illustrator’. That’s because Gary Northfield not only writes the books; he also creates all the illustrations himself! There are also two Dutch illustrators: Floor de Goede and Hedy Tjin. They aren’t writers\, but they produce amazing drawings and comic strips for children’s books. \nEdward van de Vendel is himself an award-winning children’s book author and poet. During the first half of the programme\, he will interview Gary Northfield\, Floor de Goede and Hedy Tjin. Part of the conversation will be in English. You might have had some English at school\, but Edward will also translate what they talk about so children who don’t speak English can follow the conversation. Together\, they’ll tell all about how to make drawing your profession. And of course\, you’ll have an opportunity to ask any questions you might have.\nIn the second half of the programme\, Gary Northfield will teach a drawing workshop to help you learn all the tricks of the trade. Floor de Goede and Hedy Tjin will also show how they create illustrations. And afterwards\, you can ask them all for their signatures! \nAbout Gary Northfield and Julius Zebra\nGary Northfield is a cartoonist and children’s book writer. Julius Zebra is one of his popular book series\, with five stories and a collection of jokes. The fun books make you laugh while you learn about the history of the ancient Roman Empire. The Guardian\, a big newspaper in England\, gave the first book in the series a 9/10 score and called it a ‘page-turner’: a book you can’t stop reading! \nAbout Edward van de Vendel\, Floor de Goede and Hedy Tjin.\nEdward van de Vendel is a writer and poet. He has written around 100 children’s books\, many of which have won awards such as the Woutertje Pieterse Prize\, 12 Zilveren Griffels and the German Youth Literature Prize. He has also translated many children’s books into Dutch\, including the books about Julius Zebra. His latest work\, Rekenen voor je leven\, with illustrations by Floor de Goede\, has recently been released. \nFloor de Goede is a comic strip illustrator. He draws a semi-autobiographical strip about Flo every day\, and he has now collected seven book collections of the comic strip. Together with Edward van de Vendel\, he has illustrated a variety of children’s books\, including Heel heel heel vies boek\, Opa laat zijn tenen zien\, Miss Eenhoorn and Sofie en de pinguïns. \nHedy Tjin works as a freelance illustrator and graphic designer.

SUMMARY:ILFU Exploring Stories i.a. Roxane Gay\, Ayaan Hirsi Ali\, Alfred Birney\, Imbolo Mbue
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Stories is a festival day on a wide range of current\, urgent topics that depart from this year’s festival topic: Why Fiction Matters. International and Dutch authors\, live and online\, go into topics that matter\, both in reality and in literature. If the past year has taught us anything\, it is that the big issues of our time are all intertwined. Climate change\, globalisation\, capitalism and racial\, cultural and economic inequality are global issues for which a univocal solution does not exist.\nAlthough science and journalism map out reality\, many invisible things remain. Literature searches for the truth behind the perceptible facts. In literature\, it is not about the world as is\, but about the world as it could be\, whether that results in an enticing or a terrifying world. ‘I write books about possible\, unpleasant futures in the hope that we will not allow those futures into reality\,’ Margaret Atwood said at last year’s ILFU. \nDuring Exploring stories you’ll discover new insights about the important matters of our time\, discover new writers\, and hopefully you’ll return home with new ideas and a sizeable bag filled with new books.  \n  \nLINE UP \nView and download timetable \nThe writer as prosecutor: Roberto Saviano & Désanne van Brederode \nRoberto Saviano\, Italian journalist and author of the book Gomorrah\, wrote a fiery piece in response to the murder of Peter R. de Vries about The Netherlands and crime.

What words can we still use and what words can we no longer use?\nEnglish spoken \n  \nThe Feminism of Maya Angelou with Sylvana Simons\, Christine Otten & Raoul de Jong \nWriter\, performer\, civil rights activist: charismatic Maya Angelou was all this.

The Moor’s Account is a fictionalised travelogue by the first Black explorer of America; an enslaved Moroccan whose testimony was never included in the official histories. The Other Americans is a timely\, provocative and gripping novel about immigration. A family saga\, whodunnit and love story all rolled up in one\, that subtly exposes the problems in Western society. \n29 September \nBryan Washington\nThe young American writer Bryan Washington is one of the National Book Award’s ‘5 under 35’ and winner of the prestigious Dylan Thomas Prize and Ernest J. Gaines Award for Literary Excellence. His collection of short stories Lot has been nominated for even more awards. He writes for periodicals such as The New Yorker\, The Paris Review and Buzzfeed. His debut novel Memorial is a raw\, tender and humorous story about the value of food\, family and the variability of love. He will talk about the novel with writer Roos van Rijswijk. \nElizabeth Strout\nThe American writer Elizabeth Strout is the author of works such as Amy and Isabelle\, Abide with Me\, Olive Kitteridge and My Name is Lucy Barton. Olive Kitteridge was honoured with the Pulitzer Prize in 2009. The HBO adaptation starring Frances McDormand won six Emmy Awards in 2015\, including the award for Best Miniseries. My Name is Lucy Barton climbed all the way to the number-1 spot in the New York Times Bestseller List\, and was included in the long list for the Man Booker Prize. In 2019\, she published Olive\, Again. Her latest novel\, Oh\, William! will be released in October 2021. The story is narrated by the iconic protagonist Lucy Barton\, who offers deep\, timeless commentary on the mysteries of marriage and the nature of existence. Strout will be interviewed by Liddie Austin. \n1 October\nMarianne Faithfull\nMarianne Faithfull is the famous singer of pop hits like As Tears Go by (written by Mick Jagger) and The Ballad of Lucy Jordan\, but she is also an enthusiastic lover of poetry. She regularly recites poems during her concert performances\, and her latest album co-written and recorded with Nick Cave in 2018 was titled ‘Negative Capability’\, a reference to the poet John Keats. Last year\, she recorded her dream album: a collection of spoken-word poems by her favourite 19th-century poets\, to the accompaniment of a soundscape by Bad Seeds composer and violinist Warren Ellis. On She Walks in Beauty\, Faithfull recited poems by Keats\, Shelley\, Wordsworth and Byron with an intensity and drive that reveals a lifetime spent in the peaks and valleys of an artist’s life in every word. From her home in London\, Faithfull will speak with ILFU about She Walks in Beauty and her love of poetry. \n2 October\nJonathan Franzen\nThe American writer Jonathan Franzen will be interviewed by journalist Hans Bouwman immediately after the release of his latest book\, Crossroads\, on 1 October. Jonathan Franzen broke through internationally in 2001 with his masterpiece The Corrections\, which won the National Book Award. In 2010\, he published Freedom\, which is already considered to be one of the best novels of this century. His latest novel Crossroads tells the story of a midwestern American family at the crossroads of a moral crisis. As in all his novels\, with Crossroads Franzen once again manages to meld a small\, private family life into the larger social narrative.

SUMMARY:Belle van Zuylen Lecture: Elena Ferrante [sold out]
DESCRIPTION:Opening of ILFU 2021 and presentation of Belle van Zuylen Ring \nThe International Literature Festival Utrecht will kick off with the Belle van Zuylen Lecture by none other than successful Italian author Elena Ferrante\, famous for her Neapolitan novels and the TV series ‘My Brilliant Friend’. Her participation in the lecture series\, which has included previous lectures by writers such as Margaret Atwood\, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and Jeanette Winterson\, is definitely unique. She never appears in public\, and no one is entirely certain who is behind her nom de plume Elena Ferrante. Olga Zuiderhoek will read Ferrante’s lecture on her behalf. \nThis evening\, Ferrante will also receive the Belle van Zuylen Ring\, an international honour presented by the ILFU in collaboration with the City of Utrecht. Amsterdam Sinfonietta will provide musical accompaniment.\nThe lecture honours the memory of 18th-century writer\, philosopher and composer Belle van Zuylen. Van Zuylen’s centuries-long reputation as a progressive thinker with a sharp pen for social criticism was recently brought up for reappraisal in the book Slavernij en de stad Utrecht (Slavery and the City of Utrecht). Journalist Simone Weimans will speak with a variety of experts and historians about the new insights and their influence on how we read Van Zuylen’s work. \nDuring the festival\, the lecture by Zuiderhoek and versions by renowned actresses in Italian and English will be available for streaming via ilfu.com.\nThose in attendance will also receive an exclusive print edition of the lecture in Dutch. \nThursday\, 23 September\nTivoliVredenburg 20:00\nTickets 15\, – / ILFU members 12\,-

SUMMARY:Belle van Zuylen lecture: Margaret Atwood
DESCRIPTION:Margaret Atwood\, the grande dame of international literature\, will give the twelfth Belle van Zuylen Lecture at the ILFU on Thursday 1 October. Atwood is the author of award-winning novels\, essays and collections of short stories\, which has attracted an international audience of millions. Her best-known book is the bestselling The Handmaid’s Tale\, the haunting novel about dystopian Gilead\, which was made into an Emmy Award-winning TV series in 2017. Last year the successor Testaments (Prometheus) was published\, for which she received the Booker Prize. \nBelle van Zuylen lecture\, an online edition\nIt is customary for the Belle van Zuylen Lecture to be recited in Utrecht. Margaret Atwood was therefore determined to travel to the Netherlands\, but has had to forgo the trip due to the current health risks. She will recite her lecture at home in Canada and will be interviewed in a live broadcast from the Grote Zaal in TivoliVredenburg. The event can be followed via a livestream and a limited number of places in the hall. You can buy your live stream tickets via the ticket button on the right (creditcard option available)\, or buy tickets to attend the event at the venue via TivoliVredenburg. \nThe handing over of the Belle van Zuylenring\nDuring the live broadcast\, Margaret Atwood will also receive the Belle van Zuylenring 2020. The ring is an honorary prize established by ILFU in collaboration with Gemeente Utrecht. Margaret Atwood received this ring because in her work she “has explored in an impressive way and in countless different ways the tension between art and reality\, nature and culture\, men and women and the inner and outer world.” The ring is presented to writers who have reflect work in an emphatic and relevant manner on contemporary society. Last year\, the Nigerian writer Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie was awarded the Belle van Zuylenring. The Belle van Zuylenring was designed by local goldsmith Karin Wichers on behalf of Gemeente Utrecht. \nAbout the Belle van Zuylen Lecture\nThe Belle van Zuylen Lecture has been given in Utrecht since 2005 and is named after one of Utrecht’s most internationally renowned writers. By connecting the lecture to this author\, ILFU aims to keep the ideas of Belle van Zuylen (1740-1805) about equality and emancipation alive. Writers who read the earlier gifts include Paul Auster\, Jeanette Winterson and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. \nTicket sales live streams and tickets\nFor the live stream you can buy your tickets via the link of GUTS through a pay as you like system (3\, – 17.50).

SUMMARY:We need stories: literature in the year of corona
DESCRIPTION:Are we tired of hearing about corona? Not if the virus is featured in good stories from good writers! This year’s edition of the International Literature Festival Utrecht takes place in a turbulent time in which stories are perhaps more necessary than ever. An evening about literature that is in the midst of current events can therefore not be missed in the festival programma. During this programma\, journalist and presenter Pieter van der Wielen talks to well-known writers about this turbulent time and the books they wrote about this (or fictional) pandemic(s). Daan Heerma van Voss\, Hanna Bervoets and Aafke Romeijn take place on stage to discuss this topic. Stephan Vanfleteren reads from his book Diary of a Photographer. Corona Walks and the Italian  writer Paolo Giordano joins via live stream. The program can be followed in TivoliVredenburg or through a live stream. Tickets for the live stream can be bought via the ticket button on the right. Tickets to the venue can be bought here. The programme is partly in Dutch\, partly in English.\nAbout the writers\nItalian physicist Paolo Giordano‘s debut novel\, The Solitude of Prime Numbers\, immediately became an international bestseller. Likewise\, his recently published essay In times of contamination\, on globalization\, individualism and the coronavirus. Novelist and historian Daan Heerma van Voss is considered the frontrunner of his generation and writes for many international publications. In Corona Chronicles\, he describes the first two months of the corona crisis and how we try to get a grip on the situation. Hanna Bervoets‘ recent novel Welkom in het rijk der zieken is a haunting story about a sick person in an opaque parallel world – but earlier Bervoets wrote the apocalyptic novel Everything that was there\, which\nhas been frequently recalled over the past year. Aafke Romeijn\, versatile all-rounder\, also wrote the almost predictive novel Concept M two years ago about a mysterious disease that disrupts society. Stephan Vanfleteren is one of the most famous photographers of the Low Countries. During the lockdown\, he started to walk and look in a new way. He recorded his trips in the book Diary of a Photographer. Corona Walks.\nTicket sales and festival bundle\nTickets for a seat in Tivoli’s Grote Zaal can be purchased through TivoliVredenburg. You can also follow the event via a live stream by buying your ticket via the ticket button\, through a pay as you like system (from € 3 to € 15). The system is simple: you sign up with your mobile number\, buy a ticket and then receive confirmation for the live stream. On the day of the event\, log in using your phone number and the SMS code you receive and choose the Weneed stories live stream by clicking on it. This way you can watch the program at home on your mobile or laptop or cast it to your TV.

SUMMARY:ILFU presents: Gary Northfield (cancelled)
DESCRIPTION:You have probably heard of the super comic books about Julius Zebra\, the brave zebra turned gladiator who has great adventures in the Roman Empire\, Egypt and England. In honor of the start of the Children’s Book Week\, Gary Northfield\, the author and draftsman of the books\, is coming to Utrecht! He will be interviewed by Edward van de Vendel\, who immediately translates the conversation on the go. After the talk\, Gary will give a workshop on drawing your own cartoons and teach you how he makes his cool drawings. \nProgram in the Children’s Book Week\nThe theme of the Children’s Book Week this year is “And Then …”\, so the adventures of Julius Zebra fit perfectly with that! Gary has been drawing since 2002 and loves to write about animals.\nIn the first half hour he is interviewed by Edward van de Vendel. Edward himself is an award-winning children’s author and poet. After the interview you can ask Gary your questions and he will give a cartoon drawing workshop.

SUMMARY:ILFU Book Talk: David Mitchell
DESCRIPTION:In the latest novel by David Mitchell about the rise and fall of the British rock band Utopia Avenue in the 60s\, the band also visits the Netherlands. Utopia Avenue\, his first book in five years\, leads through illustrious places\, from Soho to California\, but also Paradiso and the legendary Dutch music program Fenklup. Famous people also make an appearance (including a young David Bowie) and there are all kinds of references to characters from Mitchell’s earlier novels. We are very pleased that David Mitchell is coming to the Netherlands to talk about Utopia Avenue. \nDavid Mitchell is considered one of the greatest British writers of the moment. He gained great name recognition with the fantastic Cloud Atlas that jumps back and forth through time. The book was nominated for the Man Booker Prize and made into a movie with Tom Hanks and Halle Berry in the lead roles. The novel Dream Number Nine also received a Man Booker Prize nomination. The Dutch translation of Utopia Avenue (Meulenhoff\, translation by Harm Damsma and Niek Miedema) will be published at the end of September. \nDavid Mitchell will sign after the interview (or pre-signed books are available for sale). Friends of ILFU receive a discount on the entrance fee; You will receive the discount code for this in a separate newsletter. Want to become an ILFU Friend? Click here for more information (in Dutch). \n‘Utopia Avenue is packed with cameos and is back to old-fashioned mitchellian enjoyment. One of the many attractive aspects of David Mitchell’s writing is the fact that all his books are bursting with writing pleasure. Fun in composing elegant or raw sentences\, pleasure in playing with tropes and conventions from the most diverse genres\, pleasure in creating powerful characters who subsequently appear in several books.’ ***** (Dutch daily Volkskrant) \n‘David Mitchell is\, clearly\, a genius. He writes as though at the helm of some perpetual dream machine\, can evidently do anything\, and his ambition is written in magma across this novel’s every page.’ (The New York Times Book Review) \n(photo © Leo van der Noort)

SUMMARY:ILFU Book Talk: Petina Gappah
DESCRIPTION:The death of the Scottish missionary and explorer David Livingstone was the starting point for Petina Gappah’s new novel Out of Darkness\, Dark Shining Light (Atlas Contact). In an online Book Talk she will speak about her latest novel with journalist and host Aldith Hunkar. Writer and scientist Roanne van Voorst will give a laudation in Gappah’s honour. \nAfter Livingstone’s death\, his servants decide to transport his body to the nearest port city so that he can be turned over to the colonial rulers. The journey that Livingstone’s loyal entourage undertook and all the intrigues surrounding the journey had fascinated Gappah for a long time. \nAbout Petina Gappah\nZimbabwean writer and lawyer Petinah Gappah lives and works in Berlin. She received the Guardian First Book Award for her first collection\, The Dance Champion and Other Stories from Zimbabwe. She also received many awards for this collection in America. Although the book has been described as a collection of stories about every layer of Zimbabwean culture\, she would rather not be seen as the voice of Zimbabwe. Her work has appeared in many languages. Her novel debut\, The Book of Memory\, was released in 2015. This novel also ended up on several longlists and on the shortlist for the Prix Femina étranger. \n‘A fascinating novel’ (**** Dutch daily NRC Next) \n‘Out of Darkness\, Dark Shining Light is so light-footed and entertaining that you hardly notice how deeply Gappah explores the tension between cultures … A wise and witty novel” (Dutch daily Trouw) \n(photo © Henry Oliver Hakulandaba)

SUMMARY:ILFU Book Talk: Michel Faber
DESCRIPTION:After the publication of his last book\, Michel Faber announced that he would no longer write novels. But luckily he didn’t stick to that and now there is the fantasy story D (A Tale of Two Worlds)\, his literary ode to Charles Dickens. This acclaimed writer is coming to Utrecht to talk about this new novel which will be published in Dutch in September. Poet Ellen Deckwitz will interview him\, and writer and podcast creator Tom Hofland will give a laudation to honour Michel Faber. \nMichel Faber is of Dutch descent\, grew up in Australia and has lived in Scotland since 1993. He made his debut with the collection of short stories God’s Toys and in 2002 wrote his magnum opus\, the much-praised The Crimson Petal and the White\, a more than eight hundred page book of which more than 100\,000 copies were sold in the Netherlands alone. The BBC made a four-part series of this Victorian novel. After his best-selling Under the Skin was made into a movie in 2013 starring Scarlett Johansson\, he completed The Book of Strange New Things shortly after his wife’s death in 2015. \nMichel Faber will sign after the conversation (or pre-signed books are available for sale).

Yet another proof of what an inventive\, daring and original writer Michel Faber has always been. And hopefully it will continue.’ (Dutch daily Het Parool) \n(photo © Eva Youren)

SUMMARY:ILFU Book Talk: Raynor Winn
DESCRIPTION:Raynor Winn’s The Salt Path unexpectedly became a worldwide success. Her debut on loss and resilience was critically acclaimed and struck a chord with readers. In the autobiographical The Salt Path she writes about how she and her husband become homeless and her husband turns out to be terminally ill. They decide to walk the South West Coast Path\, a trip of more than a thousand kilometers along the south coast of England. The book was nominated for various awards such as the Costa Book Award and the Wainwright Prize. \nThis afternoon Raynor Winn speaks at ILFU about the success of her debut and about her new and already acclaimed book The Wild Silence (Uitgeverij Balans). She describes how her and her husband Moth fared. Returning to normal life remains difficult – until a gesture from someone who has read their story changes everything. Winn and her husband are given the chance to revive an old farmhouse deep in the Cornish hills. It will be the new path they follow. \nRaynor Winn will sign after the interview (or pre-signed books are available for sale). Friends of ILFU receive a discount on the entrance fee; you will receive the discount code for this in a separate newsletter. Want to become a Friend of ILFU\, please click here (in Dutch). \n‘Raynor Winn’s The Wild Silence surpasses debut. Late bloomer Raynor Winn shows even more in her second book than in The Salt Path that she is a wonderful writer.’ (Dutch daily Trouw) \n‘The Wild Silence confirms Raynor as a natural and extremely talented writer with an incredible way with words. This bookgives us all what we wanted to know at the end of The Salt Path which is what happened next. So moving\, it made me cry. . . repeatedly’ (BBC)
