Hubert Lampo
From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia
"Zijn hobby was het verzamelen van vreemde verschijnselen, van onmogelijke gebeurtenissen, precies, maar dan ook precies als onze eigentijdse Amerikaan Charles Fort. Beschouw het niet als een willekeurige vergelijking."--De verdwaalde carnavalsvierder (1990) by Hubert Lampo |

Hubert Lampo (Antwerp, September 1, 1920–July 12, 2006) was a Flemish writer, one of the founders of magic realism in Flanders. His most famous book is "De komst van Joachim Stiller" ("The coming of Joachim Stiller", 1960), in which a mysterious person, named Joachim Stiller, appears as a redeemer, under circumstances reminiscent of the death of Jesus. Other themes that occur in Lampo's work are the myths of Orpheus and the Holy Grail.
