AUTEUR

Joris Vermassen

Joris Vermassen (Belgium) is a graphic novelist and visual artist. His work is characterized by a blend of humor, tragedy, and social engagement. Under the pseudonym Fritz Van den Heuvel, he debuted in the 1990s with absurd comics in Humo and De Groene Amsterdammer. He has written scripts for radio and television and was a pioneer in the comedy scene. In 2014, he published the award-winning graphic novel Het Zotte Geweld.
During Crossing Border, he will talk about Soldaat-Hovenier, the recent sequel to Het Zotte Geweld.

About Soldaat-Hovenier: A Love Between Heaven and Hell
Alois, a Flemish gardener, bids farewell to his beloved Clothilde in 1914 to go fight the enemy. A quiet tale set in a stunning corner of France, it tells of people scarred physically and mentally, of loneliness and friendship, and of the healing power of nature and art.
