Frida Vogels (9 January 1930 – 6 July 2026) was a Dutch writer, known especially for her partly autobiographical trilogy De harde kern, the second part of which was awarded the inaugural Libris Prize in 1994.[1][2] Vogels is noted for the close connection between her work and her life, as well as for her low profile: she did not appear at the presentation of the Libris Prize, and there are very few photographs published of her.[3] Vogels was born in Soest, and she lived, worked and died in Bologna, Italy.
Life and career
[edit]Vogels' literary career began with De harde kern, on which she had worked for four decades; the first volume was published in 1992. The Libris Prize for the second volume, published 1993, garnered her commercial and critical success; the third volume, a collection of poems, was published in 1994. Since then she has published 11 of the 16 planned volumes of her diaries, and in 2011 a booklet containing diary entries of Aunt Lucietta, an aunt of her husband.[4][5]
As an editor, Vogels selected texts by Dutch author Bert Weijde (1932–1986) for a posthumously published collection Onder het ijs.[6] She has also inspired other authors: she and Weijde were friends of J. J. Voskuil, and she appears in his Bij nader inzien as Henriëtte Fagel;[3] conversely, Voskuil appears in De harde kern as Jacob.
She also translated from Italian to Dutch, and rendered works by Giacomo Debenedetti, Primo Levi, Cesare Pavese, and Salvatore Satta.[5]
Vogels died on 6 July 2026, at the age of 96.[5]
