Hans
Verhoeven, Woestijnvis, RTV, november 2002:
“In the caverns of every human mind Charles Bukowski
hides, the body twisted by hookers and boose and the fight against
closingtime. Even the barflies avoided him.
Nonetheless: madness is geniality, often to be found on the bottom
of a bottle. Combined with the mathematic precision of Bach this
becomes something irresistable, played or almost moaned by Willem
van Ekeren. Sometimes it is good to carve in ones own flesh. And
to watch how cigarettes extinct. Life should not and cannot offer
more.”
