    Author

    Marlies Vaz Nunes

    Gestimuleerd door de verhalen van Dickens, Alexandre Dumas en Victor Hugo, begon Marlies Vaz Nunes (Amsterdam, 1953) op haar veertiende jaar verhalen te schrijven. Dit hield op toen school en universiteit te veel van haar tijd gingen vergen. Pas in de jaren '90 begon ze het schrijven weer op te pakken en werd het een serieuze hobby. Ze woonde toen in Engeland en schreef in het Engels (verhalen, artikelen, columns, anekdotes) o.a. om de taal goed te leren. In 2000 verhuisde ze naar Noord Duitsland om te gaan werken bij een kleine firma in biologische bestrijding van plaaginsecten in kassen. Intussen bleef ze doorschrijven – in het Engels. Eind 2004 ging ze naar Amsterdam terug. Sindsdien schrijft ze voornamelijk in het Nederlands en is ze o.a. bezig met een serie jeugdverhalen.

      After “The End”

      Oct 10, 2022

      I walked down the road with a hunched back and a wet cigarette in my mouth—the fire had died a while back. My hands were tucked into the pockets of my jacket, and my hair fell over my face, limiting my sight. But I wasn’t really seeing where I was go
