Monthly Flanor

Tue 13 Oct from 20:00 till 21:30

Flanor is an independent literary student association from Groningen with about 200 members, coming from almost all fields of study. Flanor organizes writer evenings and lectures all year round.

These evenings are open to everyone. In addition, Flanor has various reading groups and other enjoyable activities. Feel free to drop by, everyone is warmly welcome!

A cup of tea, a comfortable chair, and a good book. The word 'literary' has many meanings within Flanor. Fantasy books, coming-of-age stories, graphic novels, but also high-quality Dutch literature or obscure literature from faraway places, it is all read within Flanor. Don't be discouraged by page counts or authors with long names. Reading is for everyone!

For those who can't get enough of reading and writing, Flanor invites a speaker every month. So far, we have welcomed authors such as Buddy Wakefield, Jeff Vandermeer, Jan Terlouw, Ronald Giphart, Raoul de Jong, Remco Campert, Hanna Bervoets, Jacques Vriens, Connie Palmen, John Flanagan, and many others.
