CWe do not despair, the hedge dice porta at the International House of Literature in Brussels. Probably there will be good news in the Security Council on 26 February, perhaps this system will be relaxed, maybe events can be held in public. If so, the programming part of the festival will come face to face. Meanwhile, it will be online. But with a sophisticated and mostly interactive proposal. And incredible wealth. Names of authors appearing via the Internet alone greet book and literature lovers: Mary Darucisek, Ibobo Mbu, Hubert Antoine, Maryke Lucas Rijneveld, Chika Unigwe, Maggie O’Farrell, Nastassja Martin, Deborah Levy, Jean-Philippe Toussaint, Caroline De Mulder, Fatima Ouassak, Lisette Lombé, Max Lobé, Lize Spit, Yoko Ogawa, Eduardo Halfon, David Vandermeulen, Stefan Lertmans… We stop right there. In all, there are over 80.
