On Tuesday, November 26, Angelo Tijssens, Melissa Giardina, and Lieve Blancquaert join host Ruth Joos. Together, they will discuss three books carefully selected by our editorial team.

With this edition, we support Eye on Palestine: a platform of cultural actors and civil society organizations from Ghent, aiming to shed light on the Palestinian issue through art in various disciplines, offering space for reflection during debates and lectures.

Nathan Thrall - A Day in the Life of Abed Salama
Barbara Kingsolver - Demon Copperhead
Ghayath Almadhoun - I Brought You a Severed Hand


As our Vooruitlezer, we welcome poet-journalist Fatena Al-Ghorra. Her new book, Exodus to Gaza, reflects on the faces and voices of Gaza: the sensation of a glass of drinkable water, singing as resistance, and words as the only painkiller.

Eye-opening encounter

Uitgelezen is a relaxed performance: the house lights remain partially on, attendees can freely enter and exit, and the audience is welcome to make noise and move around.
