18 Feb 2026

Last appearing as a guest in 2018 during the Explore the North Festival, and back again on Thursday  12 March at Podium Explore: Adriaan van Dis!

The writer has recently released his new novel Alles voor de reis (Everything for the Journey). Not only does he have an impressive body of work to his name, but he is also a wonderful storyteller to listen to. On Thursday  12  March he will sit down with us for a conversation with Simon Dikker Hupkes. He’ll discuss his most personal book to date, poetry, infidelity, truth and lies, and especially a great love for an unforgettable woman.

“A sublime book, not only about ‘love and lies’ but also about decay and death.” — Frits Abrahams, NRC

Alles voor de reis (Everything for the Journey) is a novel about a great love and the loss that follows when it fades. He wanted to explain how it happens that people who fall in love with each other while working together both know each other and don’t know each other at the same time.
