<p><em>Antiboy</em> (2022) is a coming-of-gender story about loss and finding freedom in change. Furthermore he has written works of theatre and performed poetry at cultural festivals.</p>

Authors

Valentijn Hoogenkamp

‘The lyrical passages and Hoogenkamp’s eye for strange details make reading this at times painful distressing story, a blistering literary experience.’

‘This book is much more than just a tell-all mem­oir: it’s first and foremost a literary work, deftly constructed, with vivid and accomplished prose.’

Antiboy

'Antiboy' takes place at the messy intersection between gender and orientation, gender roles and relationships.

Being young, facing adversity, coming of age are the stuff of many literary debuts, but Hoogenkamp’s crackling style and impressive restraint put her head and shoulders above the rest.

Het aanbidden van Louis Claus

It is summer 2003 and teenage Carla, unhappy at home, loses herself instead in a relationship with classmate Louis Claus.
