Editor's Note:
Goed nieuws! Dit boek bevat het beste uit "Rozegeur en maneschijn" en 'Het cirkus van de slechte smaak", twee vroege boekjes van mij die overal onvindbaar zijn geworden. Kenia en Limburg even niet meegerekend. Tevens heb ik een aantal nieuwe teksten geselecteerd uit wat ik de afgelopen twee jaar voor diverse tijdschriften schreef. Wie dit boek doorbladert, zal zich afvragen: zijn dit nu kritieken, roddels of waar gebeurde verhalen? Zijn het brieven of beschouwingen, is het pose, analyse of inhoudsloos kabaal? Ach, het is dat alles tegelijkertijd. Alle genres treden aan, verkleed, verminkt, vermomd. Het is, om het eens lyrisch uit te drukken, een literair bal masqué. Elke bladzijde flitst en schittert op het scherp van de snee, maar ook tussen de plooien en de regels lonkt veel moois. Dus hang nu eens één keer niet de intellectueel ut en laat je scepsis varen. Dit is een parel van een boek. En wat meer is... Toen ik aan de samenstelling begon, en al die oude dingen herlas, zat ik al bij de eerste pagina te schuddebuiken van het lachen. En toen ik de laatste pagina had omgedraaid en de tranen uit mijn ogen had geveegd, kon ik niets anders doen dan ruiterlijk erkennen: ja, vroeger was ik beter. Ik wens u nog een goede dag, een fijn huwelijk en positieve jaarbalansen.
