In die (outo)biografiese roman Sprakeloos vertel Tom Lanoye van sy ma se beroerte, haar spraakverlies en haar langsame aftakeling en uiteindelike dood.

Terselfdertyd toon die roman die ontreddering van ’n skrywer wat sy moedertaal in sy moeder sien verlore gaan en wat dié verlies probeer besweer met ’n vuurwerk van woorde. Die verlies van taal word herstel met taal. Met heelwat humor neem die skrywer ook afskeid van sy jeug, van sy pa se slaghuis en die sprankelende Vlaamse stadsbuurt waarin hy grootgeword het. Maar bowenal is dit ’n afrekening met sy ma – ’n klein, temperamentele amateuraktrise wat nie die teater en die werklike lewe uit mekaar kon hou nie. Sy vorm die middelpunt van talle tragikomiese familietaferele.

Die vertelling is vol oordaad, uitweidings en doelbewuste vertragings, maar in die hande van Tom Lanoye word dit ’n stilistiese kragtoer. Dit is ’n meesleurende en oorrompelende boek.

Koningin Lear is ’n herverbeelding van William Shakespeare se King Lear deur die gevierde Vlaamse skrywer Tom Lanoye. Elizabeth Lear het met die verloop van tyd haar klein besigheid opgebou tot ’n internasionale sakeryk. Elisabeth kondig aan dat die besigheid tussen haar drie seuns verdeel sal word en sy eis dat haar seuns onder eed hul liefde en trou aan haar verklaar.

Haar jongste en geliefde seun weier en dit ontketen ’n familietwis van reuse-omvang. Dit is ’n verhaal van ’n bejaarde besigheidsvrou wat haar houvas op die werklikheid verloor, wat desperaat probeer om die storm wat om haar losgebars het te hanteer. ’n Epiese verhaal wat skerp kommentaar lewer op ’n hedendaagse besigheidswereld waarin integriteit en lojaliteit skaars kommoditeite geword het.

In Gelukkige slawe bevind twee Belgiese mans met presies dieselfde naam en van, Tony Hanssen, hulleself op 'n keerpunt. In Buenos Aires speel Tony Hanssen – eens 'n toerdirekteur op van die mees luuksueuse plesierbote ter wereld – 'n gevaarlike speletjie as toyboy van mevrou Bo Xiang, die bejaarde eggenote van 'n skatryk Chinese bouondernemer met legendariese genadeloosheid. In Suid-Afrika korrel 'n ander Tony Hanssen – die vlugtende rekenaarprogrammeerder van 'n bankrot bank – met 'n geweer na 'n renoster in die Krugerwildtuin. Die een Tony wil sy vryheid terughe, en die ander een sy gesin. Eers as hulle mekaar vir die eerste keer ontmoet, op 'n ander kontinent, blyk dit hoeveel hulle op mekaar aangewese is.
