Jonathan Swift A Modest Proposal
In a time when poor Irish families struggled to feed their children, Jonathan Swift wrote an essay, which he published anonymously, making a few suggestions.

Julian Barnes Hm, hé, ha: kunst en woorden
Deze tweetalige uitgave ‘Hm, hé, ha: Kunst en woorden’ bevat de prikkelende tekst die Julian Barnes uitsprak ter gelegenheid van de tweede Joost Zwagerman Lezing in november 2019 te Alkmaar. We lijken niet in staat schilderijen te bekijken zonder erop los te leuteren. Waarom hebben we niet genoeg aan de schilderijen? En waarom verwachten we dat de kunstenaars zelf zo behulpzaam zijn hun eigen prestaties te verwoorden? Of dat critici dat voor hen doen? Woorden zijn niet altijd vrienden van de kunst.’...
