Daniël Robberechts
Daniël Robberechts (May 8, 1937 in Etterbeek – May 27, 1992 in Everbeek) was a Belgian writer.
Daniël Robberechts fully applied himself to writing after his studies in mathematics. In 1960 he was already a full-time writer, but not a ’professional’ one: without the financial support of his wife, Cécile Faniel, he would not have been able to write. After publishing countless texts, De Labiele Stilte (“not a novel”) appeared in 1968, followed by, among others, De Grote Schaamlippen (1969, “a dynamic self-portrait”) and Praag Schrijven (1975), which stood out because of their deliberate and extensive deviations of the prevailing narrative prose. From 1972 he would be involved in a number of literary magazines, including the one-man magazine “schrift”, in which he published fragments from an extensive “total text”-in-progress from 1977.
“And probably every object that we make room for in our life immediately structures that life—the important thing, don't you agree, is to actually acknowledge and experience this fact.”
