Dinner with a bookseller, a fun evening but the melancholia was not far away..
The author is dead, so much is for sure, he is even more dead than he anticipated.
The author: a dead person on an imaginary vacation.
While eating tiramisu the bookseller said, "not all his readers are imaginary but from the point of view of a bookseller, there is not such a thing as a classic in Dutch literature."
