Catalogue information
About books, reading and writing. In this book "Why Women Are Better Readers" is the short chapter "Ollie B. Potter". In this Franke compares Rowling's work with Toonder's - a comparison that (it will not surprise you) is clearly in favor of Marten Toonder. Franke writes: "In short: Toonder is an artist, Rowling is a detective writer". Literature must have spines. She has to grind and burn. The writer's commitment is perhaps even more important than the result. Literature is good for sex, can offer comfort and be a medicine for psychological complaints. ' Herman Franke had a column in the Volkskrant for a number of years in which he discussed literature at the cutting edge. Why Women Are Better Readers (2004) is a compilation of these columns, which will certainly not leave the reader unaffected. Franke's imaginative, often polemical visions demand consent or contradiction, but do not tolerate indifference.
