Joost de Vries Rustig aan, tijger
Dat is wat ik me herinner: die o-mond die een grijns werd. Terwijl het gebeurde was het voor Marnix al een grap. Terwijl het zich in realtime afspeelde, ervoer hij het al als de anekdote die hij er straks van kon maken. Als je dat kunt volhouden in het leven, dacht ik, dan ben je onkwetsbaar. De hoofdpersonen van 'Rustig aan, tijger' rijzen op en vliegen de wereld in. Ze wagen zich aan hypotheken, huwelijken en onhandige affaires, ze richten reclamebureaus op, zetten hun eigen memoires in scène,...

Maar Biesheuvel is er nog! Ook na 2008 bleef hij schrijven en publiceren, met name in Hollands Maandblad en bij bibliofiele drukkers. Een van deze nieuwe verhalen, 'Brief aan Vader', las hij vorig jaar voor in een reprise van het tv-programma 'Hier is... Adriaan van Dis'. Hij maakte daarmee diepe indruk. Voor...
