During a holiday in England, Rindert Kromhout visited Charleston, the home and meeting place of the writers, artists and academics of the famous Bloomsbury Group. He was captivated. He knew then that he wanted to write a book about this place, about these people. In Soldaten huilen niet (Soldiers Don’t Cry), he reconstructs the history of Quentin and Julian, sons of art critic Clive Bell and artist Vanessa Bell, who, together with her sister, the writer Virginia Woolf, formed the heart of this group of artists.

Depicting historical reality in a believable way is no easy task. But in Een Mann (A Mann) Rindert Kromhout undeniably proves his skill as a writer. Writing from the perspective of Klaus Mann (1906-1949), he convincingly shares with the reader this author’s difficult coming of age, whose fate and perhaps misfortune was to begin his career in his father’s shadow.
