Ramsey Nasr maakt de balans op van een land in coronatijd Het voelt als iets uit een vorig leven, hoe men in maart 2020 de dagen sleet: verward, in kwetsbare verbondenheid starend naar de tv en naar alle krantenkoppen. Enkele maanden later prevaleerde juist de snoeiharde onvrede over het virus en de langdurige maatregelen. Burgers revolteren. Hoe komen we nu nog vooruit? Na n jaar corona maakt Ramsey Nasr de balans op. Hij schreef drie stukken vanuit een persoonlijke worsteling met het afgelopen jaar. Het resulteert in n groot literair, maatschappelijk betrokken essay over ons land. Het eerste stuk van deze trilogie reflecteert op de beginfase, vlak na de sluiting van al het openbare leven, toen het stof van de stilte nog maar nauwelijks was gaan liggen: een essay over kunst en onzekerheid, onvermoede handvatten in een nieuwe wereld. Het tweede stuk gaat in op de plotse omslag die we sinds kort ervaren, nu het wachten veel Nederlanders te lang duurt: nuchterheid maakt plaats voor botheid, sentiment voor hysterie. Hoe komen we hieruit? Het derde essay geeft een mogelijke richting aan, maar maakt in ieder geval duidelijk dat we na deze pandemie niet verder kunnen zonder ons leven radicaal om te gooien.

Not often do I read a book I want everyone to read. My friends, my kids, my co-workers, our clients. You all. But it‘s Dutch. Ramsey Nasr wrote three essays in the past year. About Corona, about time to reflect, about out national politicians who are extremely liberal but ignore that they should lead us towards a sustainable future. Dutch kids are the happiest in the world but the clock is ticking. And we know it but don‘t change it. ⬇️⬇️

BarbaraBB ⬆️⬆️ We should look at the world in a radically different way. Like the Dutch painter Van Gogh did. Ramsey Nasr writes what I‘m thinking of so often but couldn‘t find words for. He should be our leader but get is an artist. A great one. 4y
squirrelbrain Sounds great - I wonder if it will be available in translation? Maybe you should translate it for us all Barbara?! 4y
BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain If I could I would. So much wisdom ❤️ 4y

Megabooks I saw this on your Instagram. I wish it were available in English! 4y
BarbaraBB @Megabooks It touched me in the heart. All he writes is so true. About the way we live and avoid long term problems even though we acknowledge them. Very confronting but also very local, I‘m not sure it would be as good for you although I‘m sure certain parts would touch you just as much! 4y
CarolynM @squirrelbrain Just what I was thinking 😀 I'm sure you'd translate it beautifully, Barbara. 4y
