All about: Berlin

Lief zacht puddinkje van haat
Onze missie: de wereld met betekenis bezoedelen. Een roman is een serie beelden, niet een film. Hij mag daarom verschillende stijlen afwisselen. Het ene hoofdstuk mag Faulkneriaans of Hermansiaans breedsprakig zijn en het volgende gespierd als Hemingway of Vonnegut (wie doet dat in het Hollands, weet jij dat Jamal?). Een roman mag diverse ideeën, stijlen ...

Vandaag breek ik een lans voor schrijvers die durven af te wijken van de verwachtingen die het publiek aan hen stelt. Schrijvers die een absurdistische ideeënroman schrijven zonder angst voor repercussies. Schrijvers als Lucas Zandberg of Joris van Os die historische romans maken die lieve uren onderzoek vergen. Literaire schrijvers die science fiction schrijven zonder ...
Life near the Tempelhof Airfield

This huge airfield in the middle of the booming city has always been an oddity, and during the time of the Berlin Wall (1961-1989) even a symbol of the divided world.

August 20. Decadence.
Berlin and getting organized. Perhaps I have developed a sharp nose for decadence, a term I have a hard time defining by the way. But let's give it a try, you have seen weirder things at this spot. So, what then, is decadence? A bundle of images comes to my mind. People critizising everybody else, ...
August 19. Getting organized #3.
Berlin and getting organized. I must be riding the metro today, going from meeting to meeting, frantically fighting the depression that is luring in every corner of this city. It is dangerous to be here! How exciting! Dangerous, despite all the friendly people that seem to care about you because you can program their computers. ...
August 18. Getting organized #2.
Berlin and getting organized. Welcome back to my depressing transmission. It will become juicy again I promise. Just have to get on the move again. What's wrong with running anyway? And your unabilities, you better understand that they have a function too. Aren't you a bundle of functional fiber? You have to understand the function ...
August 17. Getting organized #1.
Berlin and getting organized. Sometimes I think I can't have real interest in anything.
