Het gesprek - Ernest van der Kwast (18 mei 2026)

Annemieke Bosman praat met schrijver Ernest van der Kwast over zijn boek Schooljaren. Schooljaren is een coming-of-age verhaal over verlangen, dromen en grote veranderingen. Zoals Ernest van der Kwast in Mama Tandoori terugkeek op zijn jeugd, zo brengt hij in zijn nieuwe roman de middelbareschooltijd op hilarische en meeslepende wijze tot leven. Van schuifelen op het schoolfeest tot Apfelkorn drinken bij Duits, van overspannen docenten tot vieze vaders, van eerste zoen tot eindexamen. Bij de verwarming in de hal van hun school staan Ashraf, Mohamed, Dave, Erinç en de naamloze verteller. Ze drinken Capri-Sun, bespreken de benen van mevrouw Taconis en zoeken naar antwoorden op de grote vragen van het leven. Ernest van der Kwast (1981) werd geboren in Mumbai, India. Hij brak door met zijn roman Mama Tandoori (2010), die in Nederland en Italië een bestseller werd met meer dan 100.000 verkochte exemplaren. Met De ijsmakers, waarvan de vertaalrechten aan negen landen zijn verkocht, won hij de Dioraphte Jongerenliteratuur Prijs. In 2020 verscheen Ilyas, een zinderende roman over het dilemma tussen hulp bieden aan anderen en kiezen voor jezelf.
