Gé Vaartjes at the Arsenaal in Woudrichem
Friday, November 13
On November 13, the Woerkums Literary Café will welcome Gé Vaartjes at the Arsenaal in Woudrichem.
Gé Vaartjes is a Dutch literature scholar. He published the highly acclaimed Godfried Bomans biography *Vleugelman*. In it, he paints a portrait of the writer as a restless man who struggled with his fears throughout his life and sought refuge with a few close friends and various women. He portrays Bomans as a man who constantly doubted himself but was able to sharply analyze the problems of his time.
Vaartjes worked in secondary education for more than thirty years. In 1999, his biography of Herman de Man was published, and in 2010, he earned his Ph.D. with a dissertation on the biography of Top Naeff (Rebel & Dame). He is currently the editor of the Couperus Cahiers and writes reviews for de Volkskrant.
