vogel kan niet vliegen
The novel inspired on the film ‘The bird can’t fly’. QUOTES: – ‘Just like in her novel “De stille stad” (The Silent City) Threes Anna succeeds in enriching this beautiful new novel with a strong poetical dimension’ – ‘Nobody needs to explain Threes Anna, after all those years of film and theatre making, anything about staging, building up of tension, or dialogue writing. For that reason only, “Vogel kan niet vliegen” (The Bird Can’t Fly) stands out high above the average book’ Order the novel: www.bol.com

de stille stad
Film edition QUOTE: “Threes Anna is a true master in the description of small and big disappointments” **** Janet Luis Threes Anna shows with poetical and deadly accuracy how fishes die when you stab your knife into them, how fast the light in their eyes extinguishes when you lift them out of the water, how lonely one can be in a city with over a million inhabitants

motormoeder
The first Dutch novel on mobile phone or palm-pilot (january 2005), DOWNLOAD NOVEL. QUOTES: – ‘Ladies, no matter if you love motorcycles or children: read this novel!’ – ‘Fluent, strong dialogues’ – ‘…an almost perfect symbiose of the author’s style en the object of desire: the motorcycle! […] In her preference for short, clear phrases and now and then a strong swearword, Anna’s best scenes resemble those of Bukowski. Motormoeder is nearly a genre in itself, somewhere between soap and elegant whiskeyprose’
