Friday 5 November at 7pm (London time), In-person in Amsterdam and live online broadcast.

On Being Ill Book Launch

The event will mainly be in English.

The book launch of the Dutch edition of On Being Ill (Uitgeverij HetMoet, 2021) will take place on Friday 5 November at Perdu literary foundation in Amsterdam and will be also be transmitted live online with all welcome to attend.

The subtle complexities of Woolf's essay will no doubt continue to be resonant for a new generation of readers today. In this collaborative volume, authors, translators and illustrators have come together from Great Britain, Ireland, the United States and the Netherlands to represent past, present and future thinking about illness. Noteworthy contributions to this edition are Deryn Rees-Jones' preface to Woolf's essay from 1926 and the introduction to Audre Lorde's The Cancer Journals of 1980. Against these, the voices of contemporary authors resonate as they contemplate the interactions between sickness and literature.

During the book launch at Perdu, Elte Raunch from Uitgeverij HetMoet will talk about how the book came into being, and will introduce the panel members and writers. There will be readings and contributions from Mieke van Zonneveld, Deryn Rees-Jones, Lucia Osborne- Crowely, Nadia de Vries and Jameisha Prescod. Marielle O'Neill from the Virginia Woolf Society of Great Britain will speak about the essay by Virginia Woolf. The evening will be accompanied by music.
