Thanks to the Internet, it’s never been easier to find recordings of your favorite authors reading their work. Of course, if the recording you seek is from a writer who lived in a bygone, pre-Internet era, those recordings become much rarer and those that exist are often in need of preservation. That makes older recordings that have trickled online, such as those by author J.R.R. Tolkien reading from his epic fantasy trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, even more dear.

Piter Boersma hield in een doorwrochte inleiding in het Fries, verwijzend naar Baudelaire, Delacroix, de Parijse salons en een recente documentaire over studenten aan de Rijksacademie in Amsterdam. Hij deed dat voor een gehoor van belangstellenden dat voor het merendeel de pensioengerechtigde leeftijd al enige jaren geleden had bereikt. Ik denk dat Anne Feddema zowat de jongste aanwezige was. Voor de rest dezelfde gezichten als altijd in Friesland. Ed Bausch was helemaal overgekomen uit Bergen.

Der binne dagen dat je tiid en harsenssellen tekoart komme om as ienfâldich kollumnist alles by te hâlden. De iene nei de oare kwestje tsjinnet him oan, it iene noch prangjender as it oare. Lykas it gefal fan Jitse Akse, dy’t mei de Koerden tsjin de IS fjochtet. Wat is dêr net allegear oer te sizzen? Of, ek al is it fan in hiele oare oarder, it gefal fan Hessel Wiegman fan Skylge. Wiegman stiet al 45 jier noed foar seehûnen dy’t siik of ferwûne oanspiele op it strân. Neffens syn frou hat er yn de rin fan dy 45 jier sa’n 4000 bisten nei Pieterburen tabrocht.… Lês fierder
