Anna Enquist is best known to the general public as a poet and author of novels such as "The Secret", "Contrapunt" and "The Hidden". Among many other genres, however, over the past thirty years she has also written a range of essays and reflections (sometimes in the form of lectures or interviews) on various topics in which she feels at home: art and artistry, psychotherapy, the human brain and matters of the soul, travel and writing, music and literature. What you can encounter next to each other: Thomas Bernhard and Louis van Gaal, childhood anxiety dreams and Alzheimer's optimism, Goldberg variations and cello quartets, operas in the Kuip and walks along the English coast, Gerard Reve and the literary work of female authors by age.--provided by publisher, translated from Dutch.
