Hella S. Haase (1918–2011)
Författare till In a Dark Wood Wandering
Om författaren
Hella Haasse was born in Batavia, the capital of what was then Dutch East India, now independent Indonesia. It is thus understandable why her first novel, Oeroeg (1948), describes the relationship between a Dutch and an Indonesian youth. As the two young men grow up, they gradually become conscious visa mer of their ethnic and cultural differences and, in spite of their efforts, nature appears to have destined them to become estranged from each other. Haasse's greatest impact on the Dutch literary scene occurred when her historical novel Het woud der verwachting (In a Dark Wood Wandering) (1948) was published. It was translated into English in 1989. This novel became a classic in its own time. In it the author describes the ever-increasing loneliness of the fifteenth-century Romantic poet--prince Charles d'Orleans, pretender to the crown of France, who wrote most of his poems in British and French prisons. In addition to giving a moving report of the life of a person destined to end his life in utter isolation, Hella Haasse succeeds in presenting her main character in a way which allows the reader to identify with him. Charles's life is interwoven with the lives of all the other people he meets. Haasse's talent for description and narration and her skill with flashbacks allow her to manage the novel's many characters, constructing a microcosm in which each reader feels "at home' and meets people with whom he or she can identify.

Ik stuur deze brief maar op goed geluk weg. Brieven 1939-1950 contains the early correspondance of the Dutch author Hella S. Haasse. The letters were written when Haasse was between the ages of 21 and 32. Most of the letters have been preserved as carbon copies. The correspondance consists of all sorts of written missives, including letters, postcards and cartes postales and telegrams.
When Hella S. Haasse arrived from the Dutch Indies (now Indonesia) in 1938 to go to university in the Netherlands, the threat of war was already apparent, although the Netherlands hoped to remain neutral, as they had in 1914. When war broke out in 1940, her parents urged her to return to the Dutch colony, hoping the war would only play out in Europe. At that stage Japan had not yet entered the war. But Haasse remained in Holland, and was subsequently cut off from her family for more than a decade.
The letters present a first-hand account of her experience of the hunger winter in 1944, the final year of the war. After her study of Scandinavian languages, she started working as a writer, but the letters show that her career actually started out as a performer in cabaret, and that out of her wish "to assert control over the characters on the stage" her career to "manipulate" characters on paper was born.
During the war her parents were intered in Japanese concentration camps. In the later years Haasse sends them food parcels. During the later 40s repatriation of her family partly went via Australia, where they had family. The letters also describe Haasse's early marriage and the loss of her first daughter.
The book consists of the text of the letters, preceded by annotation and explanation by the editor. For this, the editor acknowledges heavy indebtedness to Leven in de verbeelding. Hella S. Haasse 1918-2011, the standard biography about Hella S. Haasse written by Aleid Truijens.… (mer)

Kleren maken de vrouw presents an easy story of a young woman who has abandoned her studies in art in Amsterdam, and starts studying fashion design in The Hague. It tells the story how she applied to be accepted at the fashion academy. There is one chapter that is entirely made up of letters.The rest of the story shows how she gets along with her best friend, who studies fashion drawing at the same school.
The novel presents a very easy story, that could easily be dismissed as pulp fiction. Kleren maken de vrouw is the first published novel of Hella S. Haasse. Particularly the topic and the style of Kleren maken de vrouw seem to make it very much a "woman's" (if there is ever such a thing). However, Haasse was commisioned to write the novel for the book series Carrière in 1946, shortly after the war. Ideas about women going to school and studying to learn a profession aimed at working and developing a career for themselves were likely still novel, and showed a great sense of practical emancipation. The simplicity of language in the book and the chatty style would likely be adopted to please an intended readership of young women who came out of the 5-year war period and were considering perspectives on life and work. Both in the topic and in the way the novel was written, the novel should be regarded as modern for the time it was written, namely in the mid- to late 1940s.
Advertisements in newspapers in 1947 promoted the series as a series of novels each based on a profession, written for young readers. The aim of the series and the novels was to offer readers an overview and introduction to that profession and the world of people working in that branch. An advertisement in De Tijd: Dagblad voor Nederland of 22 November 1947, advertised 7 volumes in the series, for careers in branches such as Hospitality, Sports, Journalism, and Beauty. The authors of the other novels have long been forgotten. Only Hella Haasse developed into a novelist of great stature.
Other novels in the series included:
Gastheer in het groot by Gerhard Werkman (Hospitality)
Koopvrouw in illusies by Gerda Siemer (Beauty)
Van onze speciale verslaggever by T. Ramaker (Journalism)
Spanning op spoor 11 by J. I. Dorgelo (Railway)
Tussen ringen en rekken by K.Rot and J. Kammeyer (Sport)
Kleren maken de vrouw by Hella Haasse was commisioned for the series to introduce young readers to the world of fashion.
Unlike the other writers, Hella S. Haasse went on to become one of the greatest Dutch writers of the 20th century.

Two lectures or essays about the Dutch author Anna Blaman(1905 - 1960) by two other Dutch authors, Hella S. Haasse and Alfred Kossmann. This publication of 48 pages appeared after these two lectures were given on 22 November 1960, the year Blaman died. She had died in July of that year.
During her lifetime, Anna Blaman twice received high literary rewards. She was the first author to receive the P.C. Hooft Prijs for her entire oeuvre in 1956. Nonetheless, (queer) erotic passages in her work drew criticism, and the reception of her works suffered a setback from merciless criticism by fellow writers.
These two essays, by writers who were young, then, gives a fair assessment of the significance of Blaman's work. Haasse sees Blaman's three major novels essentially as three parts of a total conception.… (mer)

Iks komt aan op het station en weet niet waar ze naar toe kan. En, toeval wil, ze belandt in een huis van een oude man, wiens hulp niet meer de hulp wil zijn. Dus voor kost en inwoning wil ze wel wat klusjes doen. In de tussentijd gaat ze op zoek naar vrienden die ze is kwijt geraakt, maar die zelf de weg ook zijn kwijt geraakt.
Mooie gesprekken, prachtige gedachtekronkels, het tweetal verschilt veel, maar lijkt stiekem ook wel weer wel op elkaar. Maar de situatie is natuurlijk niet houdbaar. Want er zijn altijd anderen die het nieuwe status quo willen doorbreken.
In mijn beleving had het boek nog wel veel langer door mogen gaan, er had volgens mij wel een roman in gezeten, ipv deze novelle. Ik had wel willen lezen hoe het verder gaat met Iks, met Cluysmans. Maar goed, nu was ik er vrij snel doorheen, weer een nieuwe keuze te maken. Next.
Citaat: “Maar angst en hoop zijn even zinloos wanneer mutatie afhankelijk is van een onvoorspelbare volstrekt toevallige, misschien maar minieme, wijziging in onze genen, die zich ten enenmale onttrekt aan ons begrip, onze wil, onze beste voornemens. We zijn machteloos. Dat is een verschrikkelijke gedachte” (p.46)… (mer)
