I trust this author will also be guessed right immediately. M10 are you there? I'll give you an unnecessary hint, just because it's on topic today. This author was in the same prison Willem was in, because they both resisted draft. Austerlitz, it wasn't really a prison I believe, it was sort of a mental institution. Anyway, Willem is 72 today (tomorrow for me, stupid time difference, I already congratulated him, over there it's already January 9), go congratulate him!

Did you notice the Sedaris cover is designed
an Oote Boe? When I mentioned this on my weblog, he or she send me jpgs of other bookdesigns, yet never telling about the connection with Jan Hanlo I was curious about.

[Marsman is better known under the name Bernlef.]

No, hadn't noticed that, funny. Isn't Dutch literature just everywhere? And you are probably right about Sedaris on your boeklog. I haven't read him before, but I still see what you mean. The Sinterklaas bit is worth it though.

Hè, ik zie het net te laat (was aan het verhuizen), maar had hem nu net wel meteen herkend.
