Old Filth by Jane Gardam

Hella’s first review of the year

it was amazing
260119: De hele trilogie gaat over zóveel dat je hem moeiteloos ieder jaar opnieuw kunt lezen. Hij geeft een tijdsbeeld, hij geeft weer hoe herinneringen werken, hoe communicatie (niet) werkt, hoe bepaalde plekken wemelen van gebeurtenissen, hoe geschiedenis blijft en verdwijnt, en hoe schrijven werkt.

Dagelijks werk by Renate Dorrestein

Hella’s last review of the year

really liked it
Ik vind het nog steeds onbegrijpelijk dat Renate Dorrestein er niet meer is. Haar boek Het Geheim van de Schrijver
was een van mijn eerste schrijfboeken, en het is nog steeds een van de beste Nederlandstalige.
Dagelijks Werk is een bundeling van stukken: essays, lezingen, artikelen die tezamen een beeld geven van haar schrijversleven. En het is alsof je haar hoort praten, met altijd die mild ironische glimlach. Sommige stukken zijn polemisch of fe ...more
