curator lodewijk ouwens

pim wiersinga (r) shows up ‘partner in crime’ rob de moes (l), well-known from insurgent circles of rotterdam literature. _who are the heroes of this antihéroe? _how did he get a poetry writing son? _and what lead him to an art dealer in paris? _or is fiction still fiction as soon as you know that it's fiction?

pim tries to sound the deepest sources of poet and bird watcher lodewijk ouwens. _or can inspiration be found on the surface? _next, this classicistic absurdist, amoral humanist and obstinate didactic will recite from his collection wespenverdrinken en geel cellofaan and from a mystery-edition that will be published soon

pim wiersinga reads from lucretius and from mary renault – important themes in the labyrinth of his novel zena’s arena (2020)

after the intermission, lodewijk and rob take revenge. _they interview bianca boer and pim wiersinga about their thorough research for the 'creation' of a novel. _but! _when is enough enough? _and when is 'not much' too much? _bianca reads heavily researched passages from her novel draaidagen (production days)
