Het gesprek - Cobi van Baars (12 september 2025)

Brecht van Hulten in gesprek met schrijfster Cobi van Baars. Haar nieuwe roman Vacht! komt deze week uit. Daarin werkt de hoofdpersonage Eline van der Veer in een archief dat is gevestigd in een voormalig klooster. Bij aantreden voelde die plek als de hemel, de jaren daarna gewoon als de aarde en sinds kort als de hel. Vacht! is een roman over verlangen. Over de behoefte ergens bij te horen. Het verlangen één te worden. Maar ja, waarmee? Cobi van Baars debuteerde met de roman Schippers & Zn., gevolgd door Over het krakende ei en Branduren. Haar roman De onbedoelden kreeg in 2023 een lovend ontvangst en stond op de shortlist van de Libris Literatuur Prijs 2024.
