<\/div>\n
Are we tired of hearing about corona? Not if the virus is featured in good stories\u00a0from good writers! This year’s edition of the International Literature Festival Utrecht takes place\u00a0in a turbulent time in which stories are perhaps more necessary than ever. An evening about literature\u00a0that is in the midst of current events can therefore not\u00a0be missed in the festival programma. During this programma, journalist and presenter\u00a0Pieter van der Wielen<\/strong> talks to well-known writers about this turbulent time and\u00a0the books they wrote about this (or fictional) pandemic(s). Daan Heerma van\u00a0Voss<\/strong>, Hanna Bervoets<\/strong> and Aafke Romeijn<\/strong> take place on stage to discuss this\u00a0topic. Stephan Vanfleteren<\/strong> reads from his book Diary of a Photographer. Corona Walks<\/em> and the Italian \u00a0writer Paolo Giordano joins via live stream. The program can be followed in\u00a0TivoliVredenburg 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<\/a>. The programme is partly in Dutch, partly in English.<\/div>\n

About the writers<\/h3>\n
Italian physicist Paolo Giordano<\/strong>‘s debut novel,\u00a0The Solitude of Prime Numbers,\u00a0<\/em>immediately became an international bestseller. Likewise, his recently published\u00a0essay\u00a0In times of contamination,\u00a0<\/em>on globalization, individualism and the coronavirus. Novelist and historian Daan Heerma van Voss<\/strong> is considered the frontrunner\u00a0of his generation and writes for many international publications. In Corona\u00a0Chronicles<\/em>, he describes the first two months of the corona crisis and how we try\u00a0to get a grip on the situation. Hanna Bervoets<\/strong>‘ recent novel\u00a0Welkom in het rijk\u00a0der zieken\u00a0<\/em>is a haunting story about a sick person in an opaque parallel world –\u00a0but earlier Bervoets wrote the apocalyptic novel Everything that was there<\/em>, which<\/div>\n
has been frequently recalled over the past year. Aafke Romeijn<\/strong>, versatile all-rounder, also wrote the almost predictive novel\u00a0Concept M<\/em>\u00a0two years ago about a\u00a0mysterious disease that disrupts society. Stephan Vanfleteren<\/strong> is one of the most\u00a0famous photographers of the Low Countries. During the lockdown, he started to\u00a0walk and look in a new way. He recorded his trips in the book Diary of a Photographer. Corona Walks.<\/i><\/div>\n
