Jean-Philippe Toussaint
“It was a short journey that took me a great distance: into a favourite city, waiting to be explored at the end of each day’s work; into a three-lined square whose roofline is still imprinted on my memory; into a large and luminous apartment, simple and tasteful, at once both anonymous and my own. I wrote there eagerly and easily – everything contributing to a sense of contained excitement. It was a pleasure but also a privilege to be the guest of an organization so truly devoted to the great and vital conversation between different countries and different cultures.”
Alan Hollinghurst
