Het is 25 januari 1980. (...) Brouwers, die al een aantal romans heeft gepubliceerd maar nog niet bekend is bij het grote publiek, briest en buldert, negentig bladzijden lang, tegen het in zijn ogen platvloerse literaire klimaat van het afgelopen decennium, de jaren zeventig. De verloedering is volgens hem te wijten aan een kongsi van onbekwame, elkaar voortdurend de bal toe spelende schrijvers en critici.

Brouwers, who already published a number of novels but is not yet known to the general public, rants and roars, for ninety pages, against what he sees as the vulgar literary climate of the previous decade, the 1970s. According to him, the degeneration is due to a clique of incompetent writers and critics who constantly favour each other.
