I'm still reading Sherlock Holmes and Franquin's comics of Gaston Lagaffe.


But to anyone who wants to read something new, this news is pretty remarkable:
for the first time ever a Dutch writer has won the International Booker Prize! Marieke Lucas Rijneveld for her debut The Discomfort of Evening, in a translation by Michele Hutchison. To emphasize the importance of the translator, they will split the prize money.
The story is about the 10 year old Jas (which directly translates to Coat) and her farmer family who lose a son after an accident. Not really a story that I would choose to read.
In a reaction the writer said she is as proud as a cow with seven udders
