Amos Oz in Flagey, Brussels

I do feel like sharing these pictures, even though I did not find enough light to make them turn out the way I wanted them to be. Indeed,  Amos Oz' presence is Brussels is quite exceptional.  Oz was interviewed by Kerenn Elkaïm, journalist at Le Vif/LExpress. He is a fabulous writer but he can also entertain a crowd! Listening him speak about his books,  life's experiences and wisdom last Sunday morning in Flagey's studio 4 was a wonderful treat. 
"The Israeli writer Amos Oz (1939) received international acclaim for his novel Black Box and for his phenomenal autobiography A Story of Love and Darkness – a must-read for anyone who wants to get a better understanding of Israel’s history. Amos Oz’ presence in Brussels coincides with of the launch of the Dutch and French translations of his latest collection of short stories,Between Friends. 

Amos Oz : I am very curious about loneliness and grace, or a moment of grace amid loneliness, because that is a description of the human condition." www.passaporta.be
