  • David Bowie: Lector in fabula

    David Bowie spans a career of almost 60 years. There is more than one Bowie. He is different artists, personalities, and avatars.  I love books, booklovers, bookshops, and publishers. Editions La Baconnière is a small Geneva editor. At Art Geneva, I discovered their offer. My eye fell on “David Bowie: Lector in fabula”, by Yann […]

  • ti amo (about the first sentence)

    Each book has a first sentence, a first paragraph, and a first page. That first can make all the difference. Some books had an ever-lasting impact on me just because of the first words.   I wrote earlier that I was blown away Andrew Sean Greer’s “Portrait of a Marriage”, especially the opening. I love you. […]

  • art business

    I don’t recall when I was first exposed to art. There is a vague remembrance of art lessons in primary school, and I liked it. No teacher was pivotal in my appreciation of art. The real change came when 25 years ago I met my partner Filip. Him being an art historian, there were always […]

  • a healthy business life

    I became a junior manager in my thirties. With the appointment came plenty of business lunches and dinners. The result: I gained 8 kilograms; my husband Filip – although he didn’t join these lunches – 12. That lasted for a year or three until he decided that enough was enough. So overnight, we changed our […]

  • marc didden over cinema

    De loopbanen van Marc Didden en mezelf kruisten toen ik nog netmanager bij Eén was. Dat is intussen al meer dan een tijdje geleden. Ik werk niet meer voor Eén, en zelfs niet meer bij VRT. Vermits ik nu Europees lobby in het belang van het Europees publiek omroepbestel, staan zowel mijn bureau als mijn […]

  • découvrir Philippe Besson

    I read in English most of the time. Most books on my shelves originate either from the United States or the United Kingdom. Today I rarely read authors in my native language Dutch. There are only a limited number of books one can absorb; so hard choices have to be made. But these Flemish and […]

  • Caroline Pauwels Ronduit

    Er is de afgelopen weken veel geschreven over Caroline Pauwels. Het toont wat een dame Caroline was, en hoe ze me iedereen een band had. Caroline was een kennis voor me. Heb ze gekend als lid van de Raad van Bestuur van de VRT en we kwamen mekaar af en toe tegen in haar geliefde […]

  • Switzerland & Italy restaurant Top 5 – edition 2022

    My more successful blog posts are the ones on food. This Brussels Restaurants – Edition 2022 was picked up largely. I planned a similar one on my favourite European ones. But then my husband Filip planned the summer holidays in Switzerland and Italy, and I suddenly had the challenge of limiting a European Restaurants post […]

  • self-help books

    I have read my fair share of self-help books. Two shelves, three shelves, maybe more. I don’t know because, in the end, I tend to throw them away. These days, I avoid that corner of the bookshop. Been there, done that, read that. But at Armani Libri in Milan, amidst the books on fashion, architecture, […]

  • why disconnect?

    En réalité on dirait qu’il y a deux hommes en moi qui se disputent sans cesse: un homme du Nord, féru d’ordre et de discipline, et un homme du Sud couché dans son hamac sous un figuier, tandis que la Méditerranée vient lécher la rive à ses pieds. by Georges Simenon, “Des Traces de Pas” […]
