• One of the principal books of Frankfurt 2016 where Flanders and The Netherlands are country of honor

"If a cluttered desk signs a cluttered mind, of what, then, is an empty desk a sign?" - Albert Einstein

"Writing rooms" refers to the unique working places of the most famous Dutch and Flemish authors. Their doors are usually closed for the reader but just this once they allow us to enter. Where have the modern masterpieces of modern literature been written? This book gives us the answer both in words and images and also explains their working methods. Surprising, poetical, sometimes demystifying. A beautiful photography book with a literary twist.
