through life without being noticed.

Tom Lanoye
will be at Woordfees, and the Afrikaans
translation of his book 'Sprakeloos' will be
presented there, on 7 March. Met Tom
Lanoye en Daniel Hugo. Sprakeloos
vertel hoe Tom se ma weens beroerte haar
spraak en later haar lewe verloor het. Somber?
Nee, want Lanoye se sprankel maak dit nie
alleen 'n afskeid van sy jeug, van sy pa se
slaghuis en die lewendige Vlaamse stadsbuurt
waar hy grootgeword het nie, maar ook 'n
humoristiese afrekening met 'n temperamentele
amateur-aktrise wat teater en werklikheid nie
kon skei nie. Daniel Hugo stel vrae aan Tom
oor dié meesleurende en oorrompelende boek.
