Memoires van een biograaf. In de voetsporen van Jan Wolkers is truly a scrap book, consisting of notes made by the biographer about visits to Wolkers, their many contact moments, and his search as a biographer for his materials. It contains notes about his thoughts and feelings while working on the biography. Blom warns readers that they will find many ideas and facts which can also be found in the biography.
In the introduction Blom outlines how in his view he was the anointed, destined biographer of Wolkers, the chosen, who spent many years following Wolkers through all his motions an meanderings as a friend and as a pupil. He tries to insert himself in a tradition of biographers with a life-long dedication to an author. Then, too, Blom describes how as an editor for a publisher he also met other authors, about whom he is now writing, as, for instance, in De wondergrijsaard, claiming an early connection to Harry Mulisch, another great Dutch author whose biography remains as yet unwritten.
The prestigious Prive Domein series used to be a book series which was previously exclusively for ego documents by (dead) authors. While previously the editions could exist of inedited materials, they were usually selected reprints of published ego documents such as diaries or correspondence. However, for the past 25 years, the series includes ego documents of living authors, including diaries which were specifically written for inclusion in the series. Memoires van een biograaf. In de voetsporen van Jan Wolkers is a new variant in this genre in the sense that it is a scrap book of notes by a living author about another author. The publisher must have been aware of the parasitic nature of the publication, because this volume was set at the price of just 14.49 euro, which might well be the lowest price for any volume in the series.
