I found yet another marvel of Dutch literature. "Intieme revue" by Henriette van Eyk, 1936. She is mostly remembered for a children's classic she wrote and that has been republished, "Michiel, de geschiedenis van een mug". Other than that she sadly has become a relic. She's a great read though, ironic, humourous, she was co-founder of the famous illegal "Bezige Bij", inspired later writers like Annie MG, Belcampo, Bomans, and Carmiggelt, was called a literary clown, and was Simon Vestdijk's lover. I have read piles and piles of Vestdijks. And now the thrift store has given me Henriette van Eyk. And the sun shines. And the bedroom is paint ready at last. It will be a top to bottom completely white Scandinavian Ingmar Bergman bedroom.
where is this thrift store? it sounds like it is worth a visit as a Toronto's only source of Dutch lit!
Cabbage town. On Gerrard. Store is called Second Take, nextdoor to Goodwill. But I don't know if there's any Dutch books left. You would have to go through all the shelves systematically , double rows.
leuk! Ik zal het aan lief (groot bomans fan en altijd op zoek naar schrijvers om te ontdekken) doorgeven
