Website

Genre
Fiction


Thomas Verbogt (1952) debuteerde in 1981 met de verhalenbundel De feestavond.
Sindsdien schreef hij vele romans, verhalenbundels en toneelstukken.
Met zijn oeuvre groeide ook zijn publiek. Lange tijd was hij een zeer gewaardeerd auteur maar toch relatief onbekend, maar al een paar jaar behoort hij tot ‘de eredivisie van de Nederlandse literatuur’, aldus Pieter Steinz van NRC Handelsblad.
Waar Verbogt vooral om geprezen wordt is zijn melancholieke en lichte toon en zijn filmische manier van vertellen. Ook met zijn humoristische korte verhalen bindt hij veel lezers aan zich.
