Tomas Vaiseta

Tomas Vaiseta

Tomas Vaiseta (born 1984) studied journalism. But as soon as he got his PhD, he entered yet another field, that of fiction. His first collection of short stories is clearly influenced by the material of his academic research into bleak, depressed and oppressed Soviet everyday life. His novel seems to draw more on his personal than his academic experience. It is hard to say which of his two books is better, but they are definitely very different from each other. Surprises are sure to follow in the future.

Thomas Vaiseta contributes to European Literature Night on Friday 18 September 9:00 pm at Brakke Grond
