Evert Kwok De beste woordgrappen #1

A bearded figure in a green suit stands stranded in a sun-baked desert, a tall cactus and a bleached skull his only company, impatiently checking his watch while muttering "het duurt me nu wel erg lang…" — and that dry, deadpan energy perfectly sets the tone for this 2013 Dutch collection of wordplay and humor by De Blouw and Evenboer. Evert Kwok: De beste woordgrappen promises "taalgrappen, droge humor & bananen," and the cover alone makes it clear this is comedy that revels in patience, absurdity, and a very Dutch sense of wit. With a foreword by Ruben van der Meer, this Van Gennep release is a warm and witty treat for anyone who appreciates language taken to its most delightfully ridiculous extremes.
