Editorial Terwijl ik dit schrijf is de hele storm rondom het Koningslied net wat gaan liggen en zijn de koningsspelen van start gegaan. Het land maakt zich op voor de K®oningsdag. Een mooi nationaal feest in het vooruitzicht. Niet het enige grote feest deze periode. Ik verheug me ook enorm op 14 mei, de Dan Brown Dinsdag! Afgelopen week was het London Book Fair en daar bleek dat het wat betreft nieuwe titels de rest van het jaar een feestje blijft. Wat te denken van een najaar met een nieuwe Terry Pratchett, Helen Fielding, John Grisham en uiteraard Stephen King. Grote namen, grote auteurs. En dat lijkt ook wel de trend. De auteur is allang niet meer de persoon achter het verhaal. Nee, de auteur is een ster, een merk. Op uitnodiging van uitgever Headline mocht ik aanschuiven bij een diner ter ere van het verschijnen van het nieuwe boek van Neil Gaiman ‘the Ocean at the End of the Lane’. Bekend van oa American Gods, Coraline, de 75-delige comic bookserie Sandman, Stardust, kortom een zeer veelzijdig auteur. Er werd geklapt, en gejoeld, gefloten en gegild. Een heuse popster die daar binnen kwam. Wat bijzonder om mee te mogen maken en weer de reacties en emoties die schrijvers - de dragers van de verbeelding - kunnen losmaken met eigen ogen te zien. Gaiman maakt ook onderdeel uit van het Blackberry Keep Moving project dat probeert fans dichter bij hun helden te brengen. Een super imposante multimedia campagne waarin schrijvers, artiesten, regisseurs en andere getalenteerde creatives samenwerken. En een mooi voorbeeld van hoe een verhaal over verschillende dragers kan ontstaan en zijn lezers kan bereiken. Een ander feest en bijzondere ontmoeting was die met Sophie McKenzie. Zij is een bestsellerauteur van zowel Young Adultals kinderboeken waarvoor ze ook diverse prijzen heeft gewonnen. Haar eerste boek voor volwassenen, Close My Eyes, is net verschenen en ze vertelde openhartig over hoe nieuw dit voor haar was en hoe kwetsbaar ze zich voelde over hoe haar nieuwe boek zou worden ontvangen. Ik heb het boek inmiddels gelezen en heb er van genoten. Uitermate spannende psychologische thriller voor fans van Saskia Noort en Karin Slaughter. Een echte pageturner met zeer onverwachte wendingen. Het hele Van Ditmar team wenst u een mooie en feestelijke zomer toe! Eveline van Zanten Manager Marketing & Communication Zomertip: Sophie McKenzie – Close My Eyes ISBN 9781471111730, € 12,75 Trending topic inhouse: Eind september 2013 gaat onze geheel vernieuwde website live!

He'd been sleeping rough. Probably homeless. No identification. A slip of paper with Millhone's name and number was in his pants pocket. The coroner asked her to come to the morgue to see if she could ID him. Two...

I like waking up knowing where
ANDREW KAUFMAN Born Weird is a fantastic ‘un-put-downable’ book! Where did you get your inspiration for the story? “Born Weird,” is a story about family and I got my inspiration from my family, but not directly. Although several members of my family still don’t believe me, there is no particular member of my family that inspired any of the characters. The inspiration came from having a family, being part of a family—experiencing that strange, seemingly paradoxical nature of families where they love you like no one else, while simultaneously being harder and more demanding on you than anyone else could possible be. All in the name of love. It’s that experience that I’ve tried to exaggerate, make mythic, in “Born Weird.” I love the word ‘Blursings’. Have you coined any other words and can you tell us what they mean?! I firmly believe that everyone should be making up their own words, all the time. Never forget that dictionaries are product, nothing more, so their authority over what are ‘real’ words and what aren’t is completely self-serving. Here are some of mine… Digippear: (vb.) The use of computer technology as a technique to avoid unwanted or feared issues and conversations. I tried to talk to him about his taxes but he digippearred into Facebook. Overchill: (vb.) The tendency for corporations to use modern air conditioning systems to excess. Yes, I know it’s August and I’m wearing a cardigan but they really overchill my cubicle. Birony: (adj.) The ability or compulsion to appreciate something simultaneously on both a sincere and ironic level. David’s appreciation of Tom Baker’s Dr. Who is very bironical. Breadsinner: (noun) A man experiencing guilt and shame because he stays home to raise the kids while his wife provides economically. We won’t get Bill to come to Vegas with us because he’s become a breadsinner. _____________________
He’s definitely trouble _____________________
Who was your favourite character in The Tiny Wife? Definitely, without a doubt, the Man in the Purple Hat. He’s just such an enigma to me. Why is he doing these things? What drives him? He seems like the villain in the story, and he’s definitely trouble, yet there’s a noble purpose about him. He truly believes he’s inflicting these things on people for their own good. I’m really fascinated by this character. I think, actually I’m positive, to be honest, I’ve already started writing about him again.

in the same bed everyday my favorite coffee shop is
We’d love to hear about your next project that you’re working on – please can you tell us about it? I’m wary of talking too much about it. It’s still really embryonic. I’m kind of superstitious about this. There’s a practical reason as well—talking about a project is way more fun than actually doing it, of doing the work of writing it. I find that if I talk too much about it, I find that I never finish it. But it’s about love, all kinds of love, the distance between how we think about love and how we enact it in our everyday lives. What else is there to write about? Who is your favourite author at the moment and why? But there are so many favorites! Salinger, because in the absence of adjectives he can make me feel a certain way about a character. Chris Adrien because of his plot. Aimee Bender because I just wish I were her. Many Canadian writers are extremely successful internationally, why do you think that is? Honestly, I think the weather has a lot to do with it. We’re a cold country, where for months and months you’re forced to spend your time indoors. These are perfect conditions to get writing done, which is after all, basically a desk job. But I also think our proximity to the States is highly influential too. We’re like America, but we’re a little bit different, and that difference makes so many things strangely visible. Like a Catholic looking at a Protestant. What is the weirdest country you’ve visited, what is your favourite country you’ve visited, and where would you like to visit next? I lived for a couple of months in Zipolite, a village on the west coast of Mexico, down near the Guatemalan boarder. It was a backpacking place, filled with travellers and while not really indicative of Mexican culture, it was definitely the weirdest country I’ve ever visited. My favorite country that I’ve ever visited is Spain, but not really Spain, more like Barcelona—and not even all of Barcelona, just the area around La Rambla. I felt really at home on those streets. The thing is, I’m not really a traveller. I’m a homebody. I like waking up in the same bed everyday, knowing where my favorite coffee shop is. So I don’t travel that much, and when I do, it’s pretty reluctantly. So maybe the next place I’d like to visit would be a stretch of time where there are no alarms and no surprises and everything is peaceful. That’s a place I’d really love to visit.

‘The Last Banquet’, een ‘culinaire historische blockbuster’ Uitgever Canongate is zeer enthousiast over de eerste literaire roman van Jonathan Grimwood, The Last Banquet. Deze auteur heeft eerder award-winning historische fantasy romans geschreven onder de naam Jon Courtenay Grimwood. The Last Banquet speelt zich in 18e-eeuws Frankrijk en vertelt het verhaal over het leven van Jean-Marie Charles d’Aumout; een wees, een militaire cadet, een held van de Verlichting en chef-kok. Dankzij zijn humor en moed groeit hij van arme wees uit tot een diplomaat en spion. Passie, politieke intriges en internationaal avontuur zijn er in overvloed in het leven JeanMarie, maar zijn drive komt voort uit een obsessie: het streven naar de perfecte smaak. Het onstuimige historische avontuur voert de lezer van kevers eten uit pure armoede via de overrijpe decadentie van Versailles en een Corsicaanse gevangenis naar het moment van de Franse Revolutie zelf. Een roman over honger, revolutie en het streven naar de perfecte smaak. Het aangrijpende, gemene, vraatzuchtige verhaal wordt onderbroken door recepten gekookt door onze held, variërend van Three Snake Bouillabaisse tot Wolf’s Heart Pickle. Grimwood is briljant in het oproepen van de geuren, smaken en sensaties van deze kleurrijke historische periode. Speciaal voor Van Ditmar Boekenimport zijn er boekenleggers gemaakt die u als Book of the Month klant gratis ontvangt.

ATTICA LOCKE The Cutting Season (behind the book) In the spring of 2004, I was invited to a wedding in Vacherie, Louisiana, about an hour or so outside New Orleans. My husband and I flew to my home state of Texas, hopped in a car with some friends and drove six hours through piney woods and deep swamps into the salty Gulf air of Southern Louisiana. We had a few wild nights in New Orleans, drinking bourbon and Hurricanes and eating fried pickles in the Quarter, slipping in and out of one blues club after another. And then that Saturday, we cleaned ourselves up, slipped into formal wear, and boarded a chartered bus that would take us and the other guests to the wedding ceremony at the Oak Alley Plantation, a scenic drive along the levees of the Mississippi. I had had, up to this point, a vague sense of the venue. I mean, I’d seen the invitation. But you have to understand that in the South people throw the word “plantation” on anything – subdivisions, restaurants, country clubs and clothing stores – and I’m not sure that before I got on that bus I had any idea that we were headed to a plantation. I really didn’t think anything of it… until I saw it. __________________
It was astonishing __________________
A pale, shell-pink, Greco Revival mansion with twenty-foot columns and black shutters and a wraparound balcony, set at the end of a long alley of aged live oaks and bordered to the north by the Mississippi River, to the east and west by fields of swaying sugarcane. It was one of the most spectacular visions I’d ever laid eyes on, and I immediately felt sick to my stomach, my insides turning over a whole cocktail of conflicting emotions: rage and revulsion over what the antebellum scene represented, but also a deep and unexpected feeling of love and filial longing, at an almost cellular level, as if I were coming face-to-face with a distant relative for the first time. When I finally set foot on the actual land, around the back side of the plantation, where the slave cabins had once stood, I burst into tears. I had, it seemed, stepped inside my own history... wearing a $500 dress and satin heels. It was a poignant homecoming, one in which I felt like an imposter, a woman who had wandered into the wrong century. I couldn’t make sense of where I was, nor did I know what meaning to make of my presence there as a wedding guest. Was it a supreme act of disrespect, bordering on the macabre, this celebration on the bloodied grounds of a plantation? Or was the very fact of my presence there – the fact that, for one night at least, I had been invited into the big house – a sign of tremendous progress? In the twenty-first century, did the history of slavery still hold the same charge? Or were we somehow past all that? 116 Foto: Jenny Walters
Oak Alley is a curious place. Sitting on twenty-plus acres along the Mississippi River between New Orleans and Baton Rouge, it is a national historical landmark, and a crown jewel in the historical tourism market in Louisiana. There are movies filmed there, Civil War re-enactments every Monday, Thursday and Friday, and guided tours daily, led by men and women in antebellum dress. There’s a restaurant, a bed & breakfast, and a gift shop that sells everything from serious historical texts published out of Louisiana State University to kitschy cookbooks and mammy dolls and key chains. The plantation even bottles and sells its own mint syrup. And, of course, the manicured grounds are a very popular spot for weddings and private events. I somehow made it through the ceremony and wedding reception back in May of 2004, slipping away from the festivities every now and then to share a smoke with the bass player in the wedding band, a black man in his mid-fifties who mused openly about whether or not he and I would be asked to wash dishes before the night was over. It was a joke that never got old and got me through the night. Later, as we boarded the bus at the end of the night, my husband and I paused over a plaque on the grounds that listed the names of every slave who had lived and cut sugarcane on that very land. Past the catered reception, the tables littered with empty bottles of champagne and leftover cake, we ran our fingers over the names, and I said a silent prayer, a note of thanks and a promise to never forget. __________________
me nearly that long to work up the courage to stay overnight on the plantation grounds, in one of their guest cottages. I’d heard gossip about the plantation being haunted by ex-slaves, souls who walked the grounds past nightfall. I spent my first night on the screened-in porch of my rented cottage, with a bottle of wine and some cheap water crackers I’d found at the Piggly Wiggly up the highway. For hours, I sat and stared out into the foggy darkness, listening to the whoosh of cane leaves swaying in the distance, the wind almost a song, a chorus of voices calling. I wondered what I could tell them, the slaves who were long gone, if there was anything I could say to put their souls at rest, to let them know how far we’d come, that their lives and their labor had not been in vain. Sometime during that long night sitting on the front porch, the opening scenes of The Cutting Season came to me, twirling around my head like the wind swaying the cane in the fields. I saw the fictitious Belle Vie Plantation, modeled after Oak Alley, with its weddings and guided tours. And inside its white-washed gates, I saw Caren Gray, the plantation’s general manager and caretaker. She was standing over the body of a young woman – a field worker whose throat had been slashed, her body dumped unceremoniously by the fence – having no idea how she got there or why, a twenty-first mystery that can only be solved by Caren’s willingness to delve into the plantation’s past… and her own.
Oak Alley is a curious place __________________
For me, Oak Alley was muse at first sight. I always knew that I would write about the place and its particular brand of historical tourism. It was 2009 before I made it back there – a full year after the election that put Barack Obama in the White House, a profoundly rich time in our nation’s history when it seemed we had, all of us, stepped into the unknown. Not just in terms of politics… but also basic psychology. Obama’s presidency has necessarily interrupted a narrative about this country that had been virtually unchanged since its birth, a script about race in America that had been playing on a continuous loop for hundreds of years. And it has presented a unique emotional challenge: to hold, in both hands, the fundamental contradiction of the reality of where we’ve been in this country against the hope of where we’re going. It made returning to the plantation all the more surreal, raising deep questions about how we treat our history in the context of tremendous progress. __________________

LEE CHILD How to dress a fictional hero by Lee Child Charles Darwin thought evolution was a steady, relentless process. His fellow biologist Stephen Jay Gould, however, proved it actually follows a slow-slow-quick-quick-slow dynamic. He called the pattern “punctuated equilibrium”: things stay the same until some new stimulus provokes an adaptation. Clothing in suspense fiction follows Gould’s path, not Darwin’s. Or so I discovered 17 books ago when I started thinking about writing my own series, and deciding what kind of a man my hero, Jack Reacher, would be. I remember being very conscious of the dress issue from the beginning. It was right there on the agenda. It had to be dealt with. No way around it. Why did I care so much? Punctuated equilibrium. For years, what an action story’s hero wore used to be either blandly assumed or wildly unrealistic. Golden age private eyes were generally “rumpled”, but those abused suits were never really described. Pattern? Size? Store of origin? We never knew. At the other end of the spectrum, James Bond’s threads were minutely detailed, with tailors named and cuts specified, presumably to communicate 007’s sophistication. But then Bond would swim a mile underwater and peel off a wetsuit to reveal a perfect dinner jacket. He would stroll into a casino looking like a million dollars. Suspense fiction bounced between these two poles for decades until a new stimulus arrived in the form of American writer Sue Grafton. She and her approximate contemporary, Sara Paretsky, brought a new approach to private eye stories. They moved from impressionism to realism. They gave their heroines everyday concerns: they cooked and ate and got hungry. They had neighbours. They had bills to pay. Their cars broke down. And they did laundry. They did laundry because they needed something to wear tomorrow and they didn’t have unlimited wardrobes. By recording these quotidian details, the writers changed the agenda for ever. Once out of the closet (ha!) those issues couldn’t be shoved back in. From that point onward suspense writers faced an implacable checklist. All of us who followed had to deal with it. And deal with it we did. Food? Described, often in great detail. Neighbourhood? Likewise. Cars, money troubles, tastes of all kinds – all explored.
40
I was aware of that checklist when I started to think about Reacher. I knew that readers would be thinking, “Well, yes, that master punch is all very well, but what does he do about this? And that?” My preliminary narrative choices bought me a get-out-ofjail-card in several areas. Reacher was always destined to be a drifter and a loner. My stories were always going to do without the location and employment-based trappings of most series. Reacher’s apartment? He doesn’t have one. His neighbourhood? Likewise. Bills? Doesn’t have any. Car? Doesn’t own one. Colleagues? He’s a loner. And food was no problem. America is full of cheap diners. Any one of them would be just right for a guy such as Reacher. But clothing? That was more complicated.
gradually I became Jack Reacher – at least as far as clothes are concerned. Now I buy cheap stuff in New York and junk it stop by stop, replacing it with whatever I can find. Evolution. Readers seem to find it authentic. Here’s what I find: sometimes it’s not the character that follows the author, but the other way around.
My solution was to ask: what would I do? Most fiction is a kind of idealised autobiography. We all write our heroes a little bigger, better, tougher and cooler than we really are. So if I was an alienated loner, drifting from place to place, what would I wear? Easy. I would buy cheap, utilitarian duds every few days, change right there in the store and trash the old ones. The US is full of off-brand outlets and uniform stores selling janitors’ outfits, and hardware stores selling work clothes. Big pharmacies have dollar T-shirts and underwear. I even worked out a budget. Somewhere between 10 and 20 bucks a day, I thought. Not cheap, but cheaper than owning a house with a washing machine and a tumble dryer in it. A perfect solution, for a wanderer. I thought of the whole thing as a minor point, and a rigorously logical approach. But the issue took off with readers. They became fascinated with it. Even obsessed. ©PA Decades later, it’s still one of the most frequently asked questions at a book signing, particularly in the US, and particularly among people my age (58) and younger. Maybe it’s tied to a modern hygiene obsession. People can’t imagine not changing every day. Britain is slightly more tolerant; more folks seem to remember a weekly bath night. My dad tells of being in the army, fighting from D-Day to VE Day, 11 months and two days – all in the same pair of trousers. Or maybe it’s just a reaction to the contemporary reality of fashion overload, wherein every brand every celebrity wears is exhaustively chronicled. Either way, fiction started to spill over into reality. I began to feel very self-conscious at book signings and other events. All those people staring at me, evidently with sartorial issues on their minds! I had never before cared what I looked like. But – punctuated equilibrium. Things stay the same until a new stimulus provokes an adaptation. And that stimulus was strong. So publicity became a bit of a nightmare. On a book tour, you can’t carry much luggage. I developed what were essentially uniforms – five or six identical outfits, so I would have no stressful choices in the mornings. And

Things Fall Apart Achebe C

Paperback
If you've approached Bains Stores recently, you'd be forgiven for hesitating on doing so. A prominent window advert for a discontinued chocolate bar suggests the shop may have closed in 1994. The security shutters are stuck a quarter-open, adding to the general air of dilapidation. A push or kick of the door triggers something which is more grating car alarm than charming shop bell.
Things Fall Apart tells two intertwining stories, both centering on Okonkwo, a “strong man” of an Ibo village in Nigeria. The first, a powerful fable of the immemorial conflict between the individual and society, traces Okonkwo’s fall from grace with the tribal world.

Girls At War Achebe C
Paperback
Paperback
As Minister for Culture, the Honourable M. A. Nanga is ‘a man of the people’, as cynical as he is charming, and a roguish opportunist. At first, the contrast between Nanga and Odili, a former pupil who is visiting the ministry, appears huge. But in the ‘eat-and-let-eat’ atmosphere, Odili’s idealism soon collides with his lusts - and the two men’s personal and political tauntings threaten to send their country into chaos. Published, prophetically, just days before Nigeria’s first attempted coup in 1966, A Man of the People is an essential part of his body of work dealing with modern African history.
Twelve stories by the internationally renowned novelist which recreate with energy and authenticity the major social and political issues that confront contemporary Africans on a daily basis.

Een vrolijk en bovenal spannend verhaal over wereldwijde samenzwering, complexe decodering, high-tech data visualisatie, prille liefde, onstuimige avontuur en het geheim van het eeuwige leven in een boekhandel in San Francisco. De Grote Recessie heeft Clay Jannon uit zijn vertrouwde leventje als een San Francisco Web-ontwerper geschud - en een combinatie van serendipiteit, pure nieuwsgierigheid en de mogelijkheid om een ladder te beklimmen als een aap heeft hem een nieuwe baan bezorgd in de nachtdienst bij Mr Penumbra’s 24 uur Bookstore. Maar al na een paar dagen begint Clay om te beseffen dat deze winkel nog curieuser is dan de naam doet vermoeden. Er zijn slechts een paar klanten die vaak in de boekwinkel komen maar nooit daadwerkelijk iets lijken te kopen. In plaats daarvan ‘lenen’ ze de meest onmogelijk obscure volumes die ze uit de vreemdste hoeken van de winkel toveren, alles uit naam van een onduidelijke, ingewikkelde, van oudsher bestaande overeenkomst met de tijdloze heer Penumbra. De winkel moet een dekmantel voor iets groter zijn is de conclusie van Clay en hij begint aan een complexe analyse van het gedrag van deze klanten en strikt zelfs zijn vrienden om hem te helpen erachter te komen wat er gaande is. Maar zodra ze hun bevindingen vertellen aan de heer Penumbra, blijkt de geheimen tot ver buiten de muren van de boekhandel reiken. Met onweerstaanbare verve en oogverblindende intelligentie heeft Robin Sloan een literair avontuur verhaal geschreven voor de eenentwintigste eeuw, dat zowel de sprookjesachtige charme van Haruki Murakami als de enthousiaste filosofische tovenarij/ toverij van Neal Stephenson of een jonge Umberto Eco omvat, maar met een unieke gevoeligheid die zeldzaam is in de wereld van literaire fictie. Mr. Penumbra’s 24-Hour Bookstore is precies zoals het klinkt: een etabilisiment dat de lezer moet binnentreden en nooit meer zal willen verlaten, een modern rariteitenkabinet klaar om een golf van energie geven aan elke nieuwsgierige lezer, ongeacht de tijd van dag.

JONATHAN STROUD Can you tell us a bit about your new book? THE SCREAMING STAIRCASE is the first book in my new series, LOCKWOOD & CO. There’s an epidemic of ghosts in Britain; more and more of them are appearing after dark, and no one quite knows why. The problem is that adults can’t see ghosts well at all, so it’s up to children to strap on their rapiers, pick up their protective iron chains and go into haunted houses to save the day. The series follows the adventures of Anthony Lockwood, Lucy Carlyle and George Cubbins, the only three employees of the smallest agency in London – Lockwood & Co. It’s a tale of mystery, murder, ghosts, peril . . . and kids with big swords. Who could ask for anything more? How do you get in the correct frame of mind to write? Are there any rituals, superstitions or things you must do before you can write? A mildly uncomfortable chair (so I don’t get too relaxed), a quiet room (no distractions), and a good cup of tea are all I really need to kick-start my writing day. Like most writers I have a sequence of time-wasting rituals that I run through before I actually do any proper work – checking emails, browsing news websites etc – but they don’t normally take too long. Then I try to do a 9-5 stint in the office, writing three or four pages a day. LOCKWOOD & CO is set in London, as were the novels in the Bartimaeus sequence. What do you enjoy most about using London as a setting for your books? When I was writing Bartimaeus I discovered that it really helped me to set my fantasy in an actual place that I knew well. It’s good to balance the magic and the made-up stuff with real streets and real buildings that have their own readymade solidity. That way, everything feels more concrete and believable. This principle works just as well for ghosts as it does for djinn. I can have my characters fighting some terrible spectre, then going home on the Northern Line, grumbling about the price of tickets: it grounds the action and brings it closer to real life. Do your characters ever share any of your own personality traits? I think it’s inevitable that you sub-consciously pour a bit of yourself into your favourite characters. When I finished the first Bartimaeus book (THE AMULET OF SAMARKAND), I gave it to my mother to read, and she commented that one of the
116
I was trapped in darkness; faraway I could hear the keys rattling as they locked the doors for the night characters was just like me. I assumed she meant Bartimaeus, the witty, dashing and roguishly charismatic djinni. But no. She was referring to Nathaniel, Bart’s scrawny, pale-faced, uptight and slightly annoying master. I’d been just like him when I was 12, apparently. Ah well. Did you read ghost stories as a child, and do you have a favourite? When I was about 13 my English teacher read us a fantastic chiller by M R James, and I immediately devoured all his classic tales. They’re the finest ghost stories of the English tradition, full of unworldly scholars prying into things they shouldn’t, and awakening horrid supernatural powers. My favourites include ‘Casting the Runes’, ‘Lost Hearts’, and ‘Oh, Whistle, and I’ll Come to You, My Lad’. What is the scariest situation you’ve ever been in? Hmm. I can’t say I’ve ever met a ghost myself, or awakened any horrific demonic entity. I did once get locked in the vast underground basement of a giant second-hand bookshop in Hay-on-Wye. It was late one winter’s evening, and I didn’t know it was nearly closing time. Suddenly all the lights went out, and I was trapped in darkness: far away I could hear the keys rattling as they locked the doors for the night. That wasn’t a very nice feeling. It took me a LONG time to find my way out of the labyrinth, bumping into shelves and going down dead ends, and listening to rats scurrying in the dark. I found the stairs in the end, and stumbled to the shop front, where I hammered on the door forlornly until someone saw me and called for help. So: a bit scary, certainly, and also slightly embarrassing . . .
It’s usually about how you get started with a project: how you get from a blank piece of paper to something that lives upon the page. I always start with a small idea – a single scene. For LOCKWOOD & CO, I had the image of two children walking up the path to a house in London. Night is falling. There’s mist rising in the garden. They’re ordinary-looking kids, wearing smart, modern-day clothes. The unusual thing is that both carry long, shining rapiers at their belts. They’re psychic investigation agents, and they’ve come to deal with the ghost that lurks there . . . I wrote that scene, and then I stopped, because I didn’t have a clue what happened next. But that was all I needed . . . slowly, hesitantly, the rest of the story grew from there. What advice do you give to aspiring writers? Read lots, write regularly, experiment, have fun. And don’t worry if ideas or stories don’t work out. I’ve got box-loads of unfinished projects lying around – things that seemed exciting when I started, but which fizzled out after a few pages. It doesn’t matter: it’s all good practise in the end.
Is there a quality or characteristic that children have that you wish you still had? Boundless energy and curiosity, and a clear-eyed eagerness to embrace the world. I don’t think you necessarily lose this as an adult, it’s just that other stuff keeps getting in the way. Part of the job of good books (in the reading and the writing) is to remind you of those instincts, and reconnect you with the child you’ve been. f you could go anywhere, at any time in history, where/when would you choose? If I had a two-way ticket, Ancient Rome in the days of Trajan would be fun: I’d like to see the empire at its apogee. And I wouldn’t mind calling in briefly on Shakespearean London on the way home, to see HAMLET on-stage at the Globe. What is the most common question you are asked by your fans?

Even voorstellen Sinds eind maart ben ik werkzaam bij van Ditmar als accountbeheerder op de afdeling verkoop binnendienst. Hiervoor heb ik lange tijd gewerkt bij Boekhandel Selexyz Broese. Ik was verantwoordelijk voor de inkoop van zowel de Nederlandse als de buitenlandse fictie. Vooral de inkoop van Engelstalige literatuur vond ik een leuke uitdaging. Het aanbod is vele malen groter dan wat er in het Nederlands beschikbaar is en dat betekent dat je als inkoper duidelijke keuzes moet maken en moet weten wat je klanten willen. Ik kon ook obscuurder werk inkopen. Een onbekend debuut, of iets dat er bijzonder uitziet, verkoopt in het Engels vaak beter dan in het Nederlands. Ik denk aan de McSweeney’s Issues, altijd prachtig en origineel vormgegeven. Broese heeft een uitgebreide afdeling Engelstalige fantasy, daarvoor geldt zeker dat onbekend niet onbemind maakt: fantasy-lezers zijn veellezers en ze zijn blij als ze nieuwe namen aan hun leeslijst kunnen toevoegen. In mijn nieuwe functie heb ik dagelijks boekverkopers aan de telefoon. Een leuk deel van mijn werk en ik merk dat mijn boekhandelservaring daarbij goed van pas komt. Eén van mijn favoriete romans is Wuthering Heights van Emily Brontë, die lees ik elke paar jaar opnieuw en steeds ontdek ik weer nieuwe aspecten. De getormenteerde Heathcliff blijft me intrigeren. Haruki Murakami vind ik ook een fantastische schrijver, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle las ik in 1998, in het Engels, want een Nederlandse vertaling was er toen niet. Nog steeds vind ik dat zijn beste boek. Verder houd ik van de verhalen van Raymond Carver. Met minimale middelen, maar maximaal effect, schrijft hij over het alledaagse leven van heel gewone mensen. Ik lees ook graag thrillers. Liefst een beetje duister, zoals de boeken van Mo Hayder. Harlan Coben vind ik ook goed. Hij schrijft met veel vaart en zijn plots zijn ijzersterk. Mijn zomertip van 2013 is de zeer geestige ‘romantic comedy’ The Rosie Project van de Australische debutant Graeme Simsion. Don Tillman, een professor met Asperger besluit dat het tijd wordt om te trouwen. Om de juiste vrouw te vinden, zet hij ‘the wife project’ op. Maar dan maakt hij kennis met de in zijn ogen zeer ongeschikte Rosie. A perfect summer read!

Mother, mother Koren Zailckas, 9780804138345, €17,95 ‘Mother, mother’ is het fictie debuut van de Amerikaanse auteur Koren Zailckas. Het is een kruising tussen Herman Koch’s ‘Het Diner’ en de sfeer van de boeken van Gillian Flynn: beklemmend en vol onverwachte wendingen. Zijn er in Het Diner de ouders de vertellers, in Mother, Mother word je bij de hand genomen door twee kinderen uit het gezin Hurst . Moederliefde of manipulatie? Realiteit of (kinderlijke)leugens? Schijn bedriegt pagina na pagina. Het heeft me tot aan de laatste bladzijde nieuwsgierig gemaakt naar het verloop van deze levens. En ik ben in geen enkele letter teleurgesteld!
Dissident Gardens Jonathan Lethem 9780385534932, €22,95 ‘Back to big fiction’ was de introductie van de uitgever tijdens de presentatie in New York afgelopen maart. Ik kan dat na het lezen ervan alleen maar onderstrepen. Jonathan Lethem sleept je in prachtig proza mee door het (politieke) Amerika van de jaren ’30 tot en met het heden. In de hoofdrollen een moeder en dochter. Beide even gepassioneerd, vol met idealen. Maar daarin wel uitersten van elkaar. De één een conservatieve communiste, de ander omhelst de boheemse levenstijl. Geinspireerd door de verhalen van zijn eigen familie, is het de auteur wederom gelukt een intrigerend, levendig en zorgvuldig geschreven roman te schrijven. Een bijzonder boek om jezelf in te verliezen.

Met haar weergaloze debuut Special Topics in Calamity Physics, bestormde Marisha Pessl wereldwijd de bestsellerlijsten en won ze in 2006 de John Sargent Sr First Novel Prize (nu Center for Fiction’s Flaherty-Dunnan First Novel Prize). De roman was geselecteerd als één van de 10 beste boeken van het jaar door The New York Times Book Review. Zij studeerde Engelse literatuur en Film Production Marisha groeide op in Asheville, North Carolina, en woont momenteel in New York. Op een mistige oktober avond, wordt de mooie, jonge Ashley Cordova dood in een verlaten pakhuis in Lower Manhattan gevonden. Haar dood wordt als een zelfmoord gezien en behandelt, maar onderzoeksjournalist Scott McGrath vermoedt anders. Voor McGrath lijkt nog een dood in deze schijnbaar vervloekte familie dynastie op meer dan zuiver toeval. Terwijl hij de vreemde omstandigheden rond haar dood onderzoekt, komt McGrath in aanraking met de nalatenschap van Ashley’s vader: de cult horror film regisseur Stanislas Cordova. Gefluisterd wordt dat hij zich op het afgelegen Adirondack landgoed ophoudt maar de teruggetrokken Cordova is al meer dan 30 jaar niet in het openbaar gezien. Hoewel er veel is geschreven over zijn verontrustende films, is er zeer weinig bekend over de man zelf. Gedreven door wraak, nieuwsgierigheid, en een behoefte aan de waarheid begint McGrath met hulp van twee vreemdelingen aan een intensieve zoektocht waarbij hij langzaam in de griezelige, hypnotiserende wereld van Cordova gezogen. Een speurtocht langs een inrichting, duistere nachtclubs en onderwereldfiguren volgt, totdat het lijkt alsof McGrath zich in een film van Cordova zelf bevindt... De laatste keer dat hij op het punt van het ontmaskeren van de regisseur stond, verloor McGrath zijn huwelijk en zijn carrière. Deze keer staat er nog veel meer op het spel. De veelgeprezen auteur van Special Topics in Calamity Physics, door People Magazine geprezen als een ‘blockbuster debuut’ is terug met een briljante en adembenemend spannende literaire thriller die je in spanning zal houden tot de laatste pagina.

DAN BROWN Inferno refers to Dante Alighieri´s The Divine Comedy. What is Dante’s significance? What features of his work or life inspired you? The Divine Comedy—like The Mona Lisa—is one of those rare artistic achievements that transcends its moment in history and becomes an enduring cultural touchstone. Like Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, The Divine Comedy speaks to us centuries after its creation and is considered an example of one of the finest works ever produced in its artistic field. For me, the most captivating quality of Dante Alighieri is his staggering influence on culture, religion, history, and the arts. In addition to codifying the early Christian vision of Hell, Dante’s work has inspired some of history’s greatest luminaries— Longfellow, Chaucer, Borges, Tchaikovsky, Liszt, Monteverdi, Michelangelo, Blake, Dalí—and even a few modern video game designers. Despite Dante’s enduring influence on the arts, however, most of us today have only a vague notion of what his work actually says—both literally and symbolically (which, of course, is of great interest to Robert Langdon). A few years ago, I became very excited about the prospect of writing a contemporary thriller that incorporated the philosophy, history, and text of Dante’s timeless descent into The Inferno. When you start on a new book, do you begin with the writing or the research? Do you enjoy doing one more than the other? Research definitely drives everything I do. Before beginning the writing process, I spend a lot of time exploring worlds in which I intend to set the book. In Angels & Demons, those worlds included Vatican City, particle physics, and the ongoing battle between science and religion. In Inferno, the worlds include Florence, Venice, the writings of Dante Alighieri, as well as a frightening new science that I believe has the potential either to save humankind or to destroy it. Where did do your research for Inferno? How long did you spend on it? Researching Inferno began with six months of reading, including several translations of The Divine Comedy, various annotations by Dante scholars, historical texts about Dante’s life and philosophies, as well as a lot of background reading on Florence itself. At the same time, I was poring over all the new scientific information that I could find on a cutting edge technology that I had decided to incorporate into the novel.
108 ISBN 978123456789 €22,95
Once I had enough understanding of these topics to proceed, I traveled to Florence and Venice, where I was fortunate to meet with some wonderful art historians, librarians, and other scholars who helped me enormously. Once this initial phase of research was complete, I began outlining and writing the novel. As is always the case, when a book begins to take shape, I am drawn in unexpected directions that require additional research. This was also the case with Inferno, which took about 3 years from conception to publication. With respect to the process, the success of these novels has been a bit of a Catch-22. On one hand, I now have wonderful access to specialists, authorities, and even secret archives from which to draw information and inspiration. On the other hand, because there is increased speculation about my works in progress, I need to be increasingly discreet about the places I go and the specialists with whom I speak. Even so, there is one aspect of my research that will never change— making personal visits to the locations about which I’m writing. When it comes to capturing the feel of a novel’s setting, I find there is no substitute for being there in the flesh...even if sometimes I need to do it incognito.
problems of the world…for example, he who ignores injustice because it does not affect him directly. This notion is reflected in a famous paraphrasing of Dante’s text: THE DARKEST PLACES IN HELL ARE RESERVED FOR THOSE WHO MAINTAIN THEIR NEUTRALITY IN TIMES OF MORAL CRISIS. This is a recurring theme of the novel.
What kind of adventure will Robert Langdon face this time? Can you give us any sneak peak at the new novel?
Every visit to Florence should include a trip to the popular highlights—The David, The Uffizi Gallery, The Boboli Gardens, and Il Duomo. In addition, there are a number of other locations that I find particularly inspiring. The Laurentian Library contains a breathtaking staircase by Michelangelo as well as archives of ancient manuscripts that are literally chained to their shelves. Palazzo Vecchio’s spectacular Salone dei Cinquecento is home to one of the great unsolved mysteries in art history, which remains an enigma to this day. And the Battistero di San Giovanni boasts a dazzling mosaic cieling that is said to have terrified the young Dante Alighieri and later inspired his enduring vision of hell. All of these locations make an appearence in the new novel.
Inferno is very much a Robert Langdon thriller. It’s filled with codes, symbols, art, and the exotic locations that my readers love to explore. In this novel, Dante Alighieri’s ancient literary masterpiece—The Divine Comedy—becomes a catalyst that inspires a macabre genius to unleash a scientific creation of enormous destructive potential. Robert Langdon must battle this dark adversary by deciphering a Dante-related riddle, which leads him to Florence, where he finds himself in a desperate race through a landscape of classical art, secret passageways, and futuristic technology. What was the most exciting idea or story that you found in your research? For me, one of the most exciting themes of Dante’s Inferno is the portrayal of pride as the most serious of the seven deadly sins—a transgression punished in the deepest ring of hell. The notion of pride as the ultimate sin dovetails perfectly with Greek mythology, in which hubris is responsible for the downfall of the archetypal hero. In mythology, no man was more prideful than the man who considers himself above the
What made Florence the ideal location for Inferno? No city on earth is more closely tied to Dante Alighieri. Dante grew up in Florence, fell in love in Florence, and began writing in Florence. Later in life, when he was exiled for political reasons, the longing he felt for his beloved Florence became a catalyst for The Divine Comedy. Through his enduring poem, Dante enjoyed the “last word” over his political enemies, banishing them to various rings of Inferno where they suffered terrible tortures. Do you have a favorite place to visit in Florence, like a library or a museum?
The great detective in your novels, Robert Langdon, shares your birth date as well as your place of birth. What else do the two of you have in common? Langdon and I both share a fascination with history, symbols, and codes, but this is where the similarities end. Langdon is far more daring and exciting than I am. He is, in many ways, the hero I wish I could be.

CEES NOOTEBOOM The Foxes Come At Night is preoccupied with memory, death and loss. What inspired you to write about these themes? It must have to do with age. So many people die around you, when you’re almost 78. Death belongs to life’s experiences. It’s not so much a book about mourning; it’s about how to deal, in writing, with death. You’re confronted with loss and it’s really like this. People start dying, people who are much younger than you. In the last 20 years of your life, you lose a lot of friends and colleagues. It would be strange if you didn’t set your mind to trying to somehow account for that. I hope that it has not become, in that sense, a sad book. It’s more about learning to live with certain facts. For me, that has always been the function of writing. Was writing it cathartic? I do feel clearer now. There is a mystery about death, with people no long being there. Writing is about questions, rather than answers. To formulate the questions is, in my fiction, important. Do you find writing fiction easy? No, I never find it easy - alas. Once I am writing, I think it is very pleasurable, but there has to be an enormous tension. _________________________
To formulate the questions is, in my fiction, important. _________________________

How do you think your work has evolved since you wrote your first novel at the age of 22? I am sometimes surprised when I look at that very first book. You are often forced to look at it, after so many years, when it is translated into another language. You are sometimes surprised. I am not talking about quality, but you sometimes think: “Where did I get that from?” So, how does it feel having your work translated from the Dutch? Does it still feel wholly your own? I must say, yes. I am extremely lucky with my translators. We foreigners all think that we speak English, but it is not always English English. I could never write in English. I can’t write in German, either. I can write letters in those languages, but not a book. Never, not with the kind of thing I want from style. The great thing about good translation is when they get your rhythm. To me, language is very important. In a certain way, a small country is like a prison - you will never get outside unless you are translated.
We foreigners all think that we speak English, but it is not always English English Between 1963 and 1980, you wrote no fiction at all. What was that like? Terrible, terrible. I saw my friends producing one huge novel after another. I started early and said more or less everything I knew. Then the book is published and your name is on it, and suddenly you’re a writer and people expect another book. Being very young, I went to South America working as a sailor, because I had fallen in love with somebody and I wanted to go there. That was another experience - but the problem was: what do you want to write about? _________________________
The great thing about good translation is when they get your rhythm. _________________________
Do you find travel writing satisfying? I love movement. I am a curious person, going here, there and everywhere. I find it satisfying. Which do you like best - poetry, travel writing or fiction? Poetry above all. I reckon that poetry is in everything I do, although it’s not in the form of poems, always. Do you see yourself as part of the Dutch literary establishment? Yes, I suppose I am.
ISBN 9781849165570 € 13,75
Do you want to be? Not really. You get your important prizes. They came late for me. All of my friends had them a lot earlier. And then you start getting prizes from abroad. I got the Austrian State Prize for Literature, and only then was I given major Dutch prizes. This is how things work. Is being mentioned as a potential Nobel laureate a blessing or a curse? Ultimately, neither. People don’t often ask me this question in England, but southern Europe is extremely interested in it, and so you end up with titles such as “the eternal candidate”. But there is only one prize, once a year. Interview by Duncan Robinson. Originally appeared in New Statesman.

Terug n
Van Ditmars eerste dertig jaar Als ‘Het adres voor Engelsche boeken’ presenteerde Van Ditmar’s Boekenimport zich in het najaar van 1924 in het Nieuwblad voor den Boekhandel, de voorloper van het Boekblad. Dat is het bedrijf nu weer, maar geruime tijd werd was het meer een adres voor Duitse lectuurimport. En daarnaast JLQJ KHW EHGULMI UXLP WLHQ MDDU QD GH RSULFKWLQJ ]LFK SURÂżOHUHQ als uitgeverij. Naast de initiatiefnemer die zijn naam gaf aan het bedrijf had een Haagse accountant zijn handtekening onder de oprichtingsacte gezet, maar deze verdween al na een half jaar van het toneel om plaats te maken voor AKO, Bruna en de Haagsche Kiosk-Onderneming. Met de Rotterdamsche Kiosk-onderneming, een onderdeel van Van Ditmar’s Courantenimport en Kiosk-onderneming waren dat de grote kioskbedrijven van het land. Met de nieuwe aandeelhouders verschoof de koers naar de import van Duitse modebladen. Kennelijk was de concurrentie van andere boekenimporteurs - met Meulenhoff & Co voorop, te groot. In Rotterdam werden toen veel Engelse boeken verkocht, maar in Amsterdam werd er meer Frans en Duits gelezen dan Engels. Het was dus niet zo’n gelukkige zet geweest om te beginnen met het importeren van Engelse boeken. De eerste jaren werd niet veel meer verhandeld dan geĂŻmporteerde modebladen en kranten, waarvoor ook een abonnementenafdeling was gesticht. En vanwege de Olympische Spelen in Amsterdam kwamen er in 1928 ook sportbladen bij. In 1930 waren de verwachtingen nog hoog gespannen. De omzet steeg en werd werd een royaler bedrijfspand betrokken. Van Rokin 117 verhuisde het bedrijf naar Singel 95, een kast van een grachtenpand dat ooit het woonhuis van volksschrijver en sigarenfabrikant Justus van Maurik was geweest. Maar de grote economische crisis sloeg toe en een rijk familielid moest Van Ditmar en zijn twee bedrijven van de ÂżQDQFLsOH RQGHUJDQJ UHGGHQ 'H]H DDQJHWURXZGH QHHI +HQUL YDQ GH Pol, werd van beide Van Ditmar-bedrijven voor de helft eigenaar; de kioskondernemingen stapten uit het Amsterdamse bedrijf. Het leidde tot een nieuwe koers: men ging nu weer boeken importeren. Daarbij kwam de overname van pas van de failliet gegane importzaak van Richard Bing, een Oostenrijkse boekhandelaar die na de Eerste Wereldoorlog naar Nederland was gekomen. Met Bing haalde men HHQ YDNPDQ LQ KXLV HQ ZHUG PHQ ERYHQGLHQ HHQ ÂżOLDDO LQ $QWZHUSHQ rijker. Na de MachtĂźbernahme van Hitler werden boeken van Joodse en/of antifascistische auteurs verboden en na enkele boekverbrandingen voor de BĂźhne verdwenen die in groten getale voor afbraakprijzen naar het buitenland. Een gevluchte boekhandelaar, C. Kahmann, werd aangetrokken om die stroom in goede banen te leiden. Deze werd na een jaar vervangen door een andere Duitser die wegens zijn joodse DFKWHUJURQG RQWVODJHQ ZDV ELM GH JHQD]LÂżFHHUGH %HUOLMQVH XLWJHYHULM Ullstein, waar hij een hoge positie had bekleed. Deze Moritz Leo (Morell) Bodlaender (1899-1968) zou een belangrijke rol voor het bedrijf gaan spelen. De nieuwe directeur, die ook mede-aandeelhouder werd, begon meteen na zijn komst in 1935 boeken te importeren uit Oostenrijk, dat toen een paar jaar een toevluchtsoord was van uit het Duitse Rijk gevluch uitgevers en auteurs. En door de overname van het importbedrijf van S. Opdenberg, gespecialiseerd in Engelse import, kwam er een einde DDQ GH HHQ]LMGLJH RULsQWDWLH RS KHW 'XLWVH ERHN 'RRUGDW GH HFRQRPLH weer aantrok na het loslaten van de gouden standaard was er ook weer ruimte voor dure kunstboeken. En die ging het bedrijf nu ook in YHUWDOLQJ ]HOI XLWJHYHQ ZDDUELM %RGODHQGHU KHW $QWZHUSVH ÂżOLDDO KHW voortouw liet nemen. Maar er verschenen ook oorspronkelijke werken, over Pieter Brueghel en over de Vlaamse schilderkunst in de 17e eeuw, bijvoorbeeld. Maar ook lichtere kost stond op het menu. In november 1937 werd de boekhandel in het vakblad meegedeeld: ‘Zeer binnenkort YHUVFKLMQW ELM RQV HHQ WZHHWDO JHOXLGÂżOPV LQ ERHNYRUP (ON GHHO bevat een compleet verhaal, bestaande uit 256, van tekst voorziene, origineele tekeningen van Walt Disney’. Deze avonturen van Mickey Mouse (vernederlandst tot Mikkie Muis) waren de eerste stripalbums; het publiek kende de ‘strip’ alleen uit kranten. En omdat het bedrijf QRJ VWHHGV IXQFWLRQHHUGH DOV GRRUJHHĂ€XLN YDQ KHW 5RWWHUGDPVH 9DQ Ditmar-bedrijf, vonden - naast geĂŻmporteerde kranten en tijdschriften
- ook karrenvrachten vol stuiversromannetjes en detectiveseries als Lord Lister en Nick Carter via Singel 95 hun weg naar het publiek. Men durfde het zelfs aan om een eigen tijdschrift op de markt te brengen, Ware Verhalen geheten, afgekeken van het Amerikaanse blad True Stories. Deze voorloper van het blad Mijn Geheim uit de Audax-stal hield het echter niet lang uit. Door de Anschluss van Oostenrijk bij het Derde Rijk in 1938 kwam er een eind aan de import van door nazi’s ongewenste literatuur uit dat land, en viel er een pijler weg waarop het bedrijf rustte. In de bezuinigingsronde die deze aderlating noodzakelijk maakte, werd het blad gestopt. Nieuwe stripalbums kwamen er ook niet meer. Wel werden nog dure luxe kunstuitgaven op stapel gezet, die in groot formaat en in cassette begin 1940 verschenen. 'LUHNW QD GH 'XLWVH LQYDO LQ PHL ZHUG KHW EHGULMI JHQD]L¿FHHUG Bodlaender werd ontslagen en vervangen door een nazi die ooit nog een ondergeschikte van hem was geweest bij Ullstein, F.A. Bredow. Die PDDNWH YDQ KHW EHGULMI HHQ GRRUJHHÀXLN YDQ DOOHV ZDW LQ GH SDUDGHSDV liep met de nazi-ideologie. De aandelen Van Ditmar, die naar Portugal was gevlucht, werden als vluchtkapitaal beschouwd, Bodlaender had in 1938 zijn aandelen moeten verkopen na dreiging van een boycot van Duitse kunstboekenuitgevers en Van de Pol moest wel meebuigen met de nieuwe wind die er waaide. Het tijdschrift Signal, een wat opmaak betreft geavanceerd weekblad waarin met kleurenfoto’s het Duitse leger werd verheerlijkt, kreeg een Nederlandse versie en werd door Van Ditmar uitgegeven. Vanaf het tweede oorlogsjaar was het bedrijf gevestigd op Singel 90, waar een eau-de-colognefabriek had gezeten. Daar werd nu onwelriekende lectuur geproduceerd, zoals de Jan Stavast-reeks, goedkope pulpuitgaven die dienden om de jeugd te beinvloeden. Vertalingen van Duitse streekromans moesten het idee ingang doen vinden dat de beide buurvolken tot een volksgemeenschap behoorde. In Den Haag, waar het straatbeeld door geßniformeerden werd beheerst, werd een boekhandel op het Spui geopend en later
naar toen...
QRJ HHQ LQ /HLGHQ EHLGH JHFRQÂżVTXHHUG YDQ -RRGVH ERHNKDQGHODUHQ Hoofd inkoop Fred Reichel, afkomstig uit Oost-Pruisen, bleek partijlid te zijn geworden; een fanaticus was hij overigens niet en omdat hij collega’s wist los te praten die vastgelopen waren in het Systeem, zou hij na de bevrijding mogen blijven, zij het in een lagere functie. Zijn collega Richard Bing, gebruikte zijn (militair) uniform daarentegen als FDPRXĂ€DJH YRRU YHU]HWVDFWLYLWHLWHQ 1DGDW KLM GRRU YHUUDDG YDQ HHQ koerierster gearresteerd was, zou hij in Vught worden gefusilleerd. Vijf Joodse collega’s zouden in Poolse concentratiekampen worden omgebracht. Na de bevrijding dreigde het inktzwarte oorlogsverleden van het bedrijf gevolgen te hebben voor een naoorlogse herstart. De schorsing werd echter al snel opgeheven, omdat Bodlaender niets te verwijten viel en gelukkig de touwtjes weer in handen kon nemen. Wel moest de naam gewijzigd worden in de Nederlandsche Boekenimport en Uitgeversmaatschappij voorheen Van Ditmar, een mondvol en meestal afgekort tot v/h Van Ditmar. Bodlaender kreeg de meerderheid van de aandelen, de rest bleef in handen van het Rotterdamse lectuurimportbedrijf. Voortvarend werd nu de uitgeverij nieuw leven ingeblazen, met kwaOLWDWLHI KRRJVWDDQGH ERHNHQ ]RDOV GH DXWRELRJUDÂżH YDQ +HQULsWWH 5ROand Holst. Hoofd van de uitgeverij was Hein Kohn, een vernederlandste voormalige boekhandelaar uit Hamburg die als ‘gemengd gehuwde’ de oorlog had overleefd, zij het deels in onderduik. Heel innoverend was het opzetten van een dochteronderneming om kunstboeken voor de internationale markt te gaan produceren. De bedoeling van deze Intercontinentale Publishing Company (IPC), waar ook een Zweedse uitgever en Jan de Slegte sr. geld in hadden gestoken, was dat buitenlandse uitgevers met hun eigen imprint deze boeken op de markt zouden brengen.
Kunsthistoricus Louis Gans (de broer van de Telegraaf-columnist JacTXHV VWRQG HUYDQ DDQ KHW KRRIG WHUZLMO GH RQODQJV RYHUOHGHQ ODWHUH GLrecteur van het bedrijf Chris de Ruig als redacteur werd aangetrokken. Het ambitieuze project zou echter na een paar jaar standen, hoofdzakelijk door het instorten van de boekenmarkt door de Korea-crisis. Bovendien ging de door De Slegte opgedrongen directeur - de vader van striptekenaar Peter Pontiac - er met de kas vandoor. Het debacle bracht het bedrijf op de rand van de afgrond. Door het afstoten van het YHUOLHVOLMGHQGH $QWZHUSVH ÂżOLDDO HQ GRRU KHW JURWHQGHHOV RSKHIIHQ YDQ de literaire uitgeverij en geholpen door het grote succes van de uitgave van liliputstrips (Akims), vertaalde Duitse strips, klom het bedrijf weer uit het dal. Fred Reichel deed ervan als ‘oom Fred’ de marketing. En ook het succes van de import van paperbacks uit de V.S. hielp ook om de zaak weer te laten renderen. Scheepsladingen vol uitgaven van Pocket Books Inc. kwamen naar Nederland, hetgeen ertoe leidde dat hier ‘pocket’ een soortnaam werd. De import werd nu deskundig geleid door Atse van der Hoek. Het hielp ook dat het bedrijf een bestseller in huis had, een populair-wetenschappelijk boek over archeologie, Goden Graven en Geleerden geheten, van de hand C.W. Ceram (pseudoniem van Kurt Marek). Er zouden meer dan 50.000 van verkocht worden en negen drukken beleven. Het eerste grote succes wat import betreft was een paar jaar later, in 1955, het fotoboek Family of Man, waarvan er in de eerste twee jaar ruim 100.000 exemplaren werden verkocht. %RGODHQGHU HHQ Ă€DER\DQWH PDQ GLH RS YRHW YDQ JHOLMNKHLG RPJLQJ met grote uitgevers als Alan Lane (Penguin), Rudolf Augstein (Der Spiegel) en Reinhart Mohn (Bertelsmann), wist in 1955 de stoot te geven tot de oprichting van Distripress, het vanaf dan jaarlijkse overleg van uitgevers, importeurs en distributeurs. Samen met de Luxemburgse madame Kraus, uitgeefster van modebladen, wist hij de gevoeligheden tussen de vroegere belligerenten weg te masseren. Van Ditmar was een erdoor een bedrijf geworden dat ertoe deed. En dat omzet haalde met ‘books that matter’, zoals een reclameleus luidde in de jaren zeventig.

Aan ‘t woord Boekhandel Amesz In onze kleine maar gezellige winkel is er een kant van een grote Lundiakast gevuld met Engelse fictie en een half kastje met Engelse non-fictie. Onze vaste Engelse boekenlezers en lezeressen weten de kast te vinden. Gebonden, tradepaperbacks en pocketbooks staan hierin keurig op alfabetische volgorde gerangschikt bij elkaar. Hier en daar vind je ook boeken van Nederlandse auteurs, vertaald in het Engels. Dit voor de relaties in het buitenland die af en toe iets van Nederlandse auteurs moeten lezen. Engelse uitgaven worden door onze klanten veel gelezen omdat zij nu eenmaal de essentie in vertalingen missen. Er gaat nu eenmaal toch iets verloren van het authentieke bij een vertaling en eerlijkheid gebied te zeggen dat er soms ook slechte vertalingen verschijnen. Literatuur en thrillers worden bij ons veel gelezen. Bestsellers zijn bij ons Stoner van John Williams, Julian Barnes, David Baldacci, Ian McEwan en de boeken van Hillary Mantel. Tom Holland, Anthony Beever, Malcome Gladwell, John Norwich, Simon Montefiore en Al Gore voeren de lijst aan bij de non-fictie. De Engelse kookboeken staan hier los van. Zij staan ook niet in deze kast maar gewoon tussen de Nederlands talige kookboeken. Engels talige jeugdboeken vind je bij ons op de afdeling met de Nederlandse jeugdliteratuur. Vooral de Engelse uitgaven van Nederlandse prentenboeken zijn populair. Frog van Max Velthuis en Royal Dutch bedtime stories van de Busser’s zijn geliefd. Sf en Fantasy zijn minder geliefd bij onze klanten. Dat wordt ook Nederlands talig haast niet verkocht. Sinds kort hebben wij ook Engelse kunstboeken in onze winkel. De uitgaven van de Lonely Planet reisgidsen worden hier ook veel gekocht. Het is prettig om te weten dat de binnendienst van van Ditmar en onze vertegenwoordiger Wijnant dit voor ons bijhouden. Het nieuwe wordt via de Standingorder naar ons toegezonden. Als Wijnant er is nemen we ook altijd de nieuwe Ready to read door. Soms zitten er titels tussen die we niet automatisch toegezonden krijgen maar waarvan we denken dat we ze toch niet kunnen missen in onze winkel.

Vroeger deden we ook nog in Frans- en Duitstalige boeken maar die tijd is voorbij. Dat gaat alleen op bestelling. Wij besteden met regelmaat aandacht aan de Engelse boeken. Soms alleen een etalage met Engelse titels maar het kan zomaar dat Engelse titels en Nederlandse vertalingen hiervan gebroederlijk naast elkaar gepresenteerd worden. Kort om is dit een categorie die onze aandacht verdient en dit ook krijgt. De “Hoflijke” dames van Amesz
ANDREA RIVI In Italië werk ik al een jaar of twintig in de wereld van het stripverhaal en een jaar of tien geleden vatte ik het plan op om strips in het Nederlands te gaan uitgeven. Het was me al opgevallen dat in Nederland en Vlaanderen de belangrijkste Franstalige strips uit België goed beschikbaar waren, maar dat de Amerikaanse comic potentieel veel meer aanwezig zou kunnen zijn. Het voornaamste obstakel in het uitgeven van vertalingen van deze titels is natuurlijk het feit dat Nederlanders en Vlamingen het Engels goed beheersen, maar daar liet ik mij niet door weerhouden... Allereerst heb ik de rechten voor Marvel verworven via mijn uitgeverij Nona Arte; nadat de overeenkomst met Marvel verlopen was, werd ik door één van die vreemde samenlopen van omstandigheden van het leven het hoofd voor Nederlandstalige uitgaven van de uitgeverij die de strips van DC Comics uitgeeft. RW Uitgeverij is de afdeling die de Nederlandse uitgaven van de Italiaanse uitgeverij RW Edizioni verzorgt. RW Edizioni is gespecialiseerd in strips en heeft ook in Italië de exclusieve rechten op alle titels van DC Comics. De lijst van uitgaven van RW is een stuk gevarieerder in Italië dan in Nederland, omdat we hier naast DC Comics ook veel Japanse manga en FransBelgische strips uitbrengen. We zijn bijvoorbeeld de Italiaanse uitgevers van Robbedoes en Jeremiah, om een paar titels te noemen die bekend zullen zijn onder alle fans. We sluiten niet uit dat we in de toekomst ook Nederlandse vertalingen van Franse strips zullen uitbrengen, maar we denken dat we voor 2013 al een zeer indrukwekkende catalogus hebben samengesteld, met meer dan 60 boeken gepland voor dit jaar. Onze hoop is dat we in Nederland en België net zoveel succes met onze uitgaven van DC Comics titels mogen hebben als we hebben gehad in Italië. De striphelden en de stripmakers behoren in ieder geval tot de absolute top; wij zorgen daarbij voor de beste redactie en mooiste bezorging van de uitgaven. De volgende stap is nu om ook de Nederlandstalige lezers hiervan te overtuigen zodat die ons zullen vergezellen op onze reis... Andrea Rivi RW Uitgeverij

Zo is er zijn ongeneeslijke allergie voor parkeermeters. Of wat dacht je van zijn plakactie op de verkeersborden in de stad? Flaters goedaardige daden van rebellie werken telkens weer op de lachspieren... Dit formidabele...

Eurystheos stuurt Hercules naar de planeet Nemeos. In deze geteisterde...

Op 24 oktober is het eindelijk zover, dat is dat de dag het 35ste avontuur van onze striphelden Asterix en Oberlix in de winkels zal komen te liggen. Oorspronkelijk werden de avonturen geschreven en getekend door Albert Uderzo en René Goscinny. Het scenario werd geschreven door René Goscinny en na zijn overlijden door illustrator Albert Uderzo. Door de hoge leeftijd van Uderzo werd het tijd om het stokje aan een nieuwe generatie stripmakers over te geven. Het nieuwe avontuur is dan ook het allereerste album van hun opvolgers Didier Conrad (illustrator) en Jean-Yves Ferri (scenarist).
Illustrator: Didier Conrad
Tijdens de boekenbeurs in Bologna is ook de titel, die normaal gesproken tot de dag van lancering angstvallig geheim gehouden wordt, ook al bekend gemaakt. Het 35ste avontuur heet Asterix bij de Picten. Dit betekend dat Asterix en Obelix op reis gaan naar Schotland. Over de inhoud van het album is nog niets bekend maar wie de geschiedenis van de Picten een beetje kent weet dat de Picten een strijdlustige bevolkingsgroep was die woonde in noord Schotland en heel herkenbaar waren door de blauwe beschilderingen op hun huid. Ze leefden van akkerbouw, veeteelt, jacht en visserij en er was destijds een koning Onuist die het grondgebied van de Picten behoorlijk had uitgebreid. Voldoende ingrediënten voor weer een nieuw Asterix avontuur!
