‘Waarom ik schrijf’ – een column van Herman Koch
Vanmorgen viel er een email in mijn digitale brievenbus met de mededeling dat ik een kort verhaal kon lezen van Herman Koch in het online magazine van Holland Park Press Ltd.
Dear Boeken en Dingen,
I am delighted to inform you that award winning and bestselling author Herman Koch has written a short story for our online magazine.
Why do I write? is a wonderful almost surreal reflection on the perils of being a bestselling author.
‘There are two kinds of writers,’ the author had replied. ‘One attempts a new approach with each book. The other keeps rewriting the same novel.’
Enjoy the story in English or in Dutch.
Kind regards,
Bernadette Jansen op de Haar PhD
