Het gesprek - Sander Donkers (24 augustus 2023)

Brecht van Hulten in gesprek met Sander Donkers. Al vijf jaar schrijft Sander Donkers driemaal per week een stukje van niet meer dan 150 woorden op de voorpagina van de Volkskrant. Hij oogst bewondering van talloze lezers, collega-columnisten en schrijvers, wordt geroemd om zijn fijnzinnigheid, stijl en vermogen om zowel in het alledaagse als in het mondiale naar betekenis te zoeken, in een poging het leven en de wereld beter te begrijpen. Of het nu gaat over katten, dochters, voetbal of over politicus Baudet, corona-protesten en asielzoekers; altijd tracht hij verbinding te zoeken, een kloof te overbruggen. Voor velen fungeren zijn stukjes als hoop en houvast in bange dagen. In de bundel 'Verder ontken ik alles'zijn de allerbeste verzameld. Sander Donkersis schrijver, journalist en columnist voor de Volkskrant. Eerder publiceerde hij 'Lipstick Sunset', 'HAY' (de biografie van Barry Hay) en 'Tante Jo'. Zijn journalistieke werk werd meermaals bekroond.
