I’m watching Zomergasten (Summerguests) at the moment, with Annemarie Prins, who is playing Annie M.G. Schmidt in a yet to be released biographical film. They’re showing a few fragments. It’s uncanny how much their voices are alike!. D. is gasping as she’s watching, because Prins is such a great actress. Note on the programme: Zomergasten [...]

Food for thought, or for the soul: Centre Pompidou proposes “Traces of the Sacred“, an exhibition about mysticism in modern art. Both D. and I go, but we go independently. D. goes to see it with L., then L. accompanies me. Fortunately there is an audio tour, although the PDA on which the audio annotations [...]

Having been invited to a meeting at “Aardzee“, which can be found right in the middle of what used to be “Oostelijk Flevoland”, I also had an opportunity to visit G., who is the recumbent/advanced cycle guru of the Netherlands and beyond. He holds court in Dronten, so it was a real scenic detour. I [...]

In 1971, the Vara radio station sent writers Jan Wolkers and Godfried Bomans to the uninhabited island of Rottumerplaat for a retreat. The goal was to have each of them stay there for a week, with a transmitter. They would call in to the radio station, and be broadcast live. Their contact in the studio [...]

Last week, in Latei (always a hotbed of casual good taste) I heard sounds that turned out to emanate from K-oz Collective. Their 2007 CD “Voetjes van Velour” won them a string of awards. K-oz Collective have great flow, a laid back, flawlessly executed jazzy groove and great, ironic texts. Their CD can be listened [...]

A couple of days ago, J. sent me a dissertation that I take to be about the sensory domination of sight over the other senses. I’ve started reading it, and it locks into some ideas I have been forming about language. I think our main experience of language has gone from being aural and time [...]
