Indeed, it did have a high "ome willem" gehalte, yet, [probably for copyright reasons only] there was no mention at all of a "broodje poep"...  and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |

The novels they present are filled with nonsense that is adored by the people I always try hard to evade... Except Boudewijn Buch, may he rest in peace. That man's writings I love... | |

I just really don't understand what's supposed to be so good or cool about people like Zwagerman or Grunberg, when all they write about is just lame people with lives that seem totally unreal whom fuck and drink all day and have artsy friends and visit prostitutes. 
They're so full of clichés. Sure, I've lived with a guy in Amsterdam for some time [troubled young drunk painter, with mental problems -walking cliché in itself], and at times, it was really a bit like those novels, but I just can't believe that a book about crap like that would be considered "literatuur". But hey, in our Dutch "literatuur top 10", the #1 slot is always held by "Baantjer -De Cock en de Soepstengel" or something like that. Which goes to show just how sad our dutch writing is. There are a few nice ones though. I like Cees Noteboom, and some of Hella Haase and also a few things by Adriaan van Dis [although van Dis is the ultimate pretentious wanker]. Did you ever watch "Zeeman met Boeken"? Urgh. They were a sad lot. Especially Michiel Zeeman and Bas Heijne. Made me want to throw the television out of the window, or at least smash my head through the screen. I only watched it from time to time becuz I liked Maarten Doorman ["dichter en denker" yuck] cuz he's so rugged [This message was edited Wed Feb 19 10:31:31 PST 2003 by IstenSzek] and true love lives on lollipops and crisps | |
