This course will focus on the so-called millennial generation of writers in Dutch that has risen to prominence in the first two decades of the 21st century. We will analyze the main motives, forms and issues of their work, and ask if we can discern a particular ‘structure of feeling’ and sense to the literature of this generation. The discussion of this generation’s literature will be dealt with both diachronically (in relation to former literary tendencies) and synchronically (in relation to contemporary culture and society).
