Richard Chizmar

    21 december 1965

    Richard Chizmar creëert verhalen die zowel meeslepend als huiveringwekkend zijn en zich verdiepen in de donkerdere aspecten van de menselijke ervaring. Zijn werk combineert meesterlijk spanning met diepe emotionele diepgang, waarbij thema's als verlies, herinnering en het ongewone worden verkend. Chizmars kenmerkende stem resoneert door zijn proza, en trekt lezers mee in ingewikkelde plots en onvergetelijke personages. Hij wordt geprezen om zijn vermogen om verhalen te creëren die nog lang nazinderen na het omslaan van de laatste pagina, wat zijn plaats als een belangrijke stem in de hedendaagse fictie verstevigt.

      Verbeelding aan de macht: met deze leus tartten jongeren in 1968 de gevestigde orde. We zijn nu vijftig jaar verder. Wat vinden jongeren hier nu van? VO-docenten Filosofie vroegen het aan scholieren tussen de zestien en achttien jaar. Van de tientallen korte essays die dit opleverde zijn de beste veertien in dit boek bij elkaar gebracht. Persoonlijk, politiek, beschouwend of twijfelend: het geluid van deze 'Jonge Denkers' klinkt heel divers, maar steeds genuanceerd, origineel en krachtig. De betrokken docenten leveren commentaar en gaan met hun leerlingen in gesprek. Fransiscus Kusters van de Vereniging van Filosofiedocenten leidt de bundel bevlogen in en filosoof Ger Groot sluit hem af met een persoonlijke reflectie. Maar de hoofdrol is voor de Jonge Denkers, die bewijzen dat ook in de filosofie de jeugd de toekomst heeft.
