Dit verheugd verval
Bernlef is een dichter die zich op indirecte wijze tot de lezer wendt. In Dit verheugd verval is de verscheidenheid aan materiaal nog groter dan in zijn vorige bundels. Zo ontmoeten wij naast de schrijver onder anderen Fred Astaire, Jean Baptiste (een aardige man), G. en de Duitse sprinter Hary. Bernlef zet ze allen naar zijn hand omdat `tenslotte alles bruikbaar kan zijn; zonder het triviale heeft het dramatische geen betekenis.
