Bob den Uijl - Elsie - 2006

Before Elsie made her appearance in 1979 in Bob den Uyl's collection 'With a Foot in the Grave', she had already appeared in June 1969 in Sextant, the magazine of the Dutch Association for Sexual Reform (NVSH). In 2006, this original version of Alex Vreugdenberg's poetry tour, spelled with a 'd' (Vreugenberg), appeared less frequently.

Publisher 'De Consternatie' N.V. from Rotterdam was responsible for this limited edition (100 copies) of a beautiful booklet with a cover and flaps, featuring a neat saddle stitch. Besides Bob den Uijl's short story, the booklet literally and figuratively embraces fourteen portraits of possible Elsies on the inside of the cover, with the Flemish Louis Paul Boon now posthumously licking his fingers.
