Maarten 't Hart

Maarten ’t Hart made his debut under the name Martin Hart with the novel Stenen voor een ransuil (Stones for a Long-Eared Owl, 1971). He studied biology in Leiden and worked as an ethologist at Leiden University. One of the most important themes in his oeuvre is his childhood in a Calvinist community and his distancing himself from it. His passions for nature and music also constantly crop up in his work. ’t Hart broke through to a wide audience with his melancholy novel about meeting his teenage love: Een vlucht regenwulpen (A Flight of Curlews, 1978). Many novels, short-story and essay collections later, ’t Hart, with his authentic tone and work which often touches upon the tension between biography and fiction, has grown to be one of the

Anil Ramdas

Anil Ramdas was een Surinaams-Nederlands schrijver, programmamaker en journalist voor o.a. De Groene Amsterdammer en NRC Handelsblad. Zijn oeuvre is een getuigenis van zijn scherpzinnig denken over thema’s als identiteit, migratie en vrijheid. Door zijn speelse en tegelijk scherpe analyses van deze soms heikele thema’s, geldt Ramdas als een van de beste essayisten in het Nederlandse taalgebied. Hij schreef meerdere essay- en verhalenbundels, en werkte als radiopresentator voor de NPS en de VPRO, waarvoor hij ook verschillende televisieprogramma’s maakte. Van 2000 tot 2003 was hij buitenlandcorrespondent in India voor de NRC. In 2011 verscheen zijn debuutroman Badal. Op 16 februari 2012, zijn 54ste verjaardag, pleegde Anil Ramdas zelfmoord i
