In the press
The Foxes Come At Night, the English translation of ’s Nachts komen de vossen has received a wonderful review in The Independent: ‘Dutch writer Cees Nooteboom’s short novels are exquisite toys for the broken-hearted, erudite tales that revolve around themes of loss and despair but are never less than playful.’
An article by Esther Schnaber was also published in TS. Tijdschrift voor Tijdschriftstudies about the history of the literary magazine Avenue, which was edited by Cees Nooteboom.
