Lezen met ALS by Pieter Steinz
Columns van Pieter Steinz over literatuur, gerelateerd aan zijn leven als ALS-patiënt. Bijzonder hoe iemand die zo ziek is, zijn gevoel voor humor weet te bewaren en op relativerende toon de meest heftige symptomen beschrijft. De bijgaande tekeningen zijn prachtig. Iedere illustratie zegt iets over het besproken boek in de column en op bijna iedere tekening staat ook Pieter Steinz.

Pieter Steinz gives an overview of insanity in world literature - in his discussion he makes a 'tour' of the Dolhuys Museum in Haarlem, using the different exhibition rooms in the museum to discuss different ways in which insanity crops up in literary works: he discusses insane characters, insane authors, psychiatrists in novels and psychiatric hospitals in novels.
Though brief, Steinz manages to give quite a comprehensive overview of the ways in which insanity plays a role in literature, with a wealth of examples.
I very much enjoy Steinz' writing style - though he does succeed in writing a scholarly essay, he still writes in a style that is easy and fun to read. A good introduction to the topic.… (more)
