99: from Flemish to catwalk

12,99 23,00

The collection of stories 99 From Flemish to Catwalk consists of 99 mini-stories with political, social, historical and autobiographical themes. In a literary and at the same time amusing way, Pol Hoste expresses the most diverse observations. 99 takes the reader along in sharp reflections, sparkling dialogues and theatrical scenes.

Pol Hoste: 'In 99 the world is not so much described as it is literary recreated. What is left out resonates as the resonance of what is brought forward by the words.
It is not that literary texts can be used to write down reality that fascinates me. It is not that they can be analyzed, explained and interpreted that fascinates me. But that they derive their value from the unspeakable at the moment that it reveals itself in all silence.
Language says something to me about the distance that human consciousness is able to take from itself and from the reality to which language itself also belongs. As a writer, I have the greatest possible connection with this distance.
When we, as readers or writers, stand at this distance from ourselves, we may be able to catch a glimpse of who we are.'
