Onrechtvaardig? Yes!

5 juli, 2017 - /blog/1436/onrechtvaardig-yes.html

Arme Marc Cavendish, en arme Peter Sagan, zeker, maar wij dienen hier zonder aanziens des persoons te erkennen dat élke grote sportwedstrijd haar reputatie bouwt met behulp van Grote Verhalen. En geen Grote Verhalen zonder drama, intrige, en onvoorspelbaarheid – dat is per slot van rekening toch wat wij (afijn, ik toch) willen. De legende van de Tour is rijkelijk gelardeerd met bedriegers, bedrogenen, smeerlappen en doden. Maar in de laatste jaren werden we niet verwend en het voorspelbar...

Diary of a Witness by Astrid Holleeder published today

27 oktober, 2017 - /nieuws/1689/diary-of-a-witness-by-astrid-holleeder-published-today.html

While Judas is the story about the decision to testify against her brother Willem Holleeder, Diary of a Witness is rather about the consequences of that far-reaching decision. What were the effects on the lives of the Holleeder family: on mother Stien, sister Sonja, the children and their partners, the grandchildren and above all: on Astrid herself? Diary of a Witness offers  us a glimpse into the life of someone who, out of necessity, has had to go into hiding and for whom no...

Women kick each other down - article for LINDA. Magazine

8 mei, 2018 - /nieuws/2070/women-kick-each-other-down-article-for-linda-magazine.html

  How many times have we heard that voice since October 2017, the month the uproar started? More often in fact than the outrage about what the action was aimed at: that a majority of women at one point in their lives will be confronted with sexual violence and intimidation. And that these numbers haven’t decreased over the years, but only increased. It’s not about a hand on a knee, a wink or a flirtatious app message. It’s about sexually inappropriate behaviour. About force and ...

Pop en literatuur (99): Bruce Springsteen en John Steinbeck

30 juni, 2020 - /blog/3107/pop-en-literatuur-99-bruce-springsteen-en-john-steinbeck.html

  The tractors came over the roads and into the fields, great crawlers moving like insects, having the incredible strength of insects […] Snub-nosed monsters, raising the dust and sticking their snouts into it, straight down the country, across the country, through fences, through dooryards, in and out of gullies in straight lines. They did not run on the ground, but on their own roadbeds. They ignored hills and gulches, water courses, fences, houses. Nee, dit is ge...

Pop en literatuur (62): Led Zeppelin en J.R.R. Tolkien

4 juni, 2019 - /blog/2661/pop-en-literatuur-62-led-zeppelin-en-j-r-r-tolkien.html

De boeken van Tolkien gaan al enkele generaties mee. Wie kent ze niet, de goedhartige hobbits, de trotse elfen en knorrige dwergen die het rijk van Midden-Aarde bewonen? Met name de trilogie Lord of the Rings kent nog altijd een ongekende populariteit. De boeken werden aan het begin van dit millennium succesvol verfilmd door Peter Jackson, wat een zoveelste revival tot gevolg had. Het wekt dan ook geen verbazing dat tal van (voornamelijk rock)bands zich lieten inspireren door Tolkien. De...

The new novel of Arnon Grunberg, Occupied Territories, will be published on the 10th of January in the Netherlands.

Poging

9 juli, 2020 - /blog/3117/poging.html

  Tijdens mijn verblijf in Zundert raakte ik bevriend met Joke. Een ex-onderwijzeres die al jaren op straat woont. Naar eigen zeggen is ze ook werkzaam voor Rutte en troonopvolgster in Engeland. Net voor de opening van de tentoonstelling in Zundert met schilderijen die ik daar maakte, trof ik haar op straat. Joke zei: ‘Hé! Ik dacht dat je al weg was.’ ‘Ik ben even terug. Wat zit je haar mooi zeg.’ Ze lachte en zei: ‘Net gekamd.’ Ik nodigde haar uit voor de op...
