Saskia Noort (50) just got back from the London Book Fair, the international network party for writers and TV-makers. She looks elated: her American agent was more than enthusiastic about her new novel.

Cor's Pop & Literatuurlijst op Spotify: De heavy metal van Iron Maiden is op het eerste gezicht (en gehoor) niet heel subtiel. De rollende drums en meerstemmige gitaarsolo’s, de knerpende zangpartijen, de schreeuwerige albumhoezen met doodshoofden en occulte symbolen en zelfs de naam (de ijzeren maagd is een martelwerktuig) roepen nou niet meteen de associatie op met, laten we zeggen, filosofie of poëzie. Toch verwijzen de heren graag naar de geschi...

Stromboli’s nearly violently beaming cover is designed by Janet Hansen, who – as a senior designer for New York publisher Alfred Knopf – is responsible for many successful covers. ‘I’m always browsing for international book designers,’ Van Gelderen says, ‘and Hansen’s work caught my eye. Very stylish and graphic, but soulful too. She turned out to be open to working with us.’ Behind the exploding light on S...
