Gaea Schoeters - Het geschenk
VPRO Boeken - de podcastBeschrijving van de aflevering
In Gaea Schoeters’ roman 'Het geschenk' lopen plots maar liefst 20.000 olifanten door Berlijn. Ze zijn gestuurd door de president van Botswana, als reactie op een nieuwe wet die de ivoorexport aan banden legt. De bondskanselier moet deze crisis snel aanpakken, want de verkiezingen komen eraan. Lotje IJzermans gaat in gesprek met Gaea Schoeters.
