Het gesprek - Nyk de Vries (29 april 2025)

Annemieke Bosman praat met schrijver Nyk de Vries over zijn nieuwe roman De Baptisten. Een Fries dorp, midden jaren tachtig. Marten en Wytse kennen elkaar van school en de kerk. Als ze samen een band oprichten, maakt dat veel los. De groep vormt een hechte clan, maar ondanks succes en bevlogen optredens ontstaan er barsten in de vriendschap. Van allerlei kanten trekken er krachten aan de jongens. Jaren na hun breuk, op een broeierige middag, brengt Marten zijn zoon naar een speelkameraadje. Bij diens Marokkaanse oma wordt hij op indringende wijze met zijn jongere zelf geconfronteerd. Nyk de Vries is schrijver, muzikant en performer. Van 2019 tot 2021 was hij Dichter fan Fryslân. Hij publiceerde o.a. de bundel prozagedichten De dingen gebeuren omdat ze rijmen (genomineerd voor de J.C. Bloem-poëzieprijs), de roman Renger (Piter Jellespriis) en de dichtbundel Asman.
