Marjon Hoffman De Boskampi's

Eigenlijk had Rik Boskamp liever een andere vader gehad. Eentje die niet zo'n verstrooide sukkel was. In de maffiafilms gaat het er heel anders aan toe! Rik wil ook wel bij de maffia horen: je kunt alles doen zonder er straf voor te krijgen en iedereen vindt je cool. Als hij en zijn vader gaan verhuizen, besluit Rik dat hij voortaan Rikki Boskampi heet. De hele buurt gelooft Riks verhalen over zijn maffia-vader, en iedereen siddert al snel van angst voor... de Boskampi's! Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie

Geert van Istendael Mijn Nederland

wat is er toch aan de hand met Nederland? De bekende balans tussen royale zelfverzekerdheid – waarom doen ze in die andere landen niet gewoon zoals wij? – en zelfhaat – Nederlands?

Het werd hoog tijd om een Belg met een kennersoog de polder in te sturen. Verrukt en verdwaasd dwaalt hij door Nederland, het exotische curiosum van Europa....
