Editor's Note:
De korte roman Kaas werd Willem Elsschots doorbraak na tien jaar stilzwijgen. Het boek beschrijft de lotgevallen van Frans Laarmans, een nederige kantoorklerk die een greep doet nar het grote geld door vertegenwoordiger te worden in Edammerkaas. Hij slaat de duizenden bollen op in een kelder en installeert een imposant kantoor. Van de verkoop zelf bakt hij echter niet veel.In Lijmen, de tweede schitterende novelle die in deze bundel is opgenomen, beschrijft Elsschot een geniale zwendel in bedrukt papier. Het verhaal begint als Laarmans op café een zekere Boorman ontmoet, die hij nog kent van vroeger. Deze biedt hem een baan als secretatis van het Algemeen Wereldtijdschrift voor Financiën, Handel, Nijverheid, Kunsten en Wetenschappen. Die functie zal hem een veelvoud opleveren van zijn huidige loon. Al vlug wordt echter duidelijk dat daarvoor letterlijk over lijken moet worden gegaan...
