19 Love Songs

“I've written about him hundreds of times, and I haven't written about him at all until now.”

Liefdes, relaties, een fijne collectie korte verhalen. Het lijkt me helemaal niet verkeerd in de vriendenkring van de schrijver te zitten als je daardoor elk jaar met Valentijn zo'n kort verhaal krijgt bezorgd :-)

“Anyone who answers yes to a question like Do you promise not to judge? is inquestionably a liar. Judgement is not something one can control - only the expression of the judgement can be tamed.”

This is such a beautiful book. These stories are lovely, they're charming, they're gentle and loving and good. Every single one of these stories was something heartwrenching in the most wonderful possible way.
