Brussels has seen many a writer come ... and go. Some of them were, or became, (world) famous. Starting at the main entrance to Bozar, how can we not mention Charlotte and Emily Brontë, or Charlotte's favourite, Thackeray? Up the hill, in or around the park, we find Sir Walter Scott, Lord Byron, Robert Louis Stevenson, Ouida, James Fenimore Cooper, Joseph Conrad and more contemporary writers like Teju Cole. To name but a few.
