How did Paul van Ostaijen write the immortal poem ‘Marc groet ‘s morgens de dingen’? How did the divine Boon create his Ondineke of the ‘Kapellekensbaan’ one beautiful day? And how did Tom Lanoye go ‘To War’? Diaries, manuscripts, letters… you will be able to view them all at the Letterenhuis. In a sense, you will get a glance over the shoulders of the authors.
