Pinto literary | Tom Rooduijn

12 June

Hans Roduin, averse to bourgeois conventions, married four times and fathered three children. Investigating his father's combative life takes journalist Tom Rooduijn to his own unstable childhood.

The precursor is not only a cultural history but also a moving double portrait. An eventful journey through the times of pacifist youth; a surrealist magazine; student resistance; Cobra and the Fifties; modern theatre; Provo; Action Tomato and an artists' colony in Italy.
