Michael De Cock

Michael De Cock (b. 1972) writes plays and novels for both children and adults. He carefully builds up his stories and puts strong characters on the page with just a few words. In a language and style that are clear and to the point, mixed with powerful imagery, he deals with deep philosophical themes. De Cock often adapts myths and stories of creation for children and has a great sense of social engagement.
