Notes: More than twenty titles were published by Helen Knopper, including novels, short stories, poetry and a triptych about the nineties. After a long period of silence, Helen Knopper made her comeback in 2016 with 'It is walking it breathes life', biography of a friendship, (nomination for the Halewijn Prize 2016) in 2018 followed by 'The unexpressed image', the special report of a sickbed with the impact of a chronicle of an announced death. Nevertheless, Helen Knopper has succeeded in completing 'The Burning House' with the intriguing subtitle 'Stories from the timeless here and now where the girls are & the ghost blowing where he wants to go'. It is an essay book and not a novel, but it is a real Knopper. It may be clear from the subtitle that the ghost is predominant, but it is not all bitter seriousness. There is also a lot to laugh about. A small selection of the multitude of subjects: psychological theories and their founders; religions and their founders; the situation in the world and technological developments; the digital advance and the virtual outcome. And not to mention human behavior.
