Joost Zwagerman about 'Burgundian Sports'
Thanks to 'Bourgondisch Sporten' we now know for sure: Willem Kaspers is a double talent. Many Alkmaarders have known him for years of course Willem's talent for let's call it: the good life. a great café a smashing jazz or pop concert, a great restaurant, a spectacular culinary marathon with the country's best culinary artists. If Willem Kaspers puts his shoulder to the wheel for these kinds of things that make life worth living, then you can be sure of success, fun and good cheer. But now there is also a taste of Kaspers' second talent. 'Bourgondisch Sporten' gives us a glimpse into the eventful life of Willem Kaspers up to now. The experiences in this book vary from - and I am now taking a very small sample - an exciting 'encounter' of a schoolboy with a threatening swan. via an exciting dance between a lady with an exciting profession and a gentleman in plaster, to numerous adventures of staff and customers in the now legendary Chateau Kaspers, or: De Vestibule'. Anyone who reads 'Bourgondisch Sporten' will discover that Kaspers' storytelling is propelled by a wonderful quality: boundless curiosity. In the world of 'Bourgondisch Sporten' everyone is interesting to Kaspers, from nationally known jazz musicians and chefs to shrewd bartenders and typical Alkmaar freeloaders and rogues. There is no one who bores Willem, because as this born storyteller knows, there are always a number of wonderful anecdotes connected to everyone. A storyteller with so much curiosity about everyone around him, then provides us with a reading adventure that is served with a master's hand - to stay in the atmosphere of Kaspers' great love 'the catering industry'. 'Bourgondisch Sporten' not only offers insight into a turbulent life, but also an unforgettable image of an Alkmaar that, partly thanks to Kaspers himself, is constantly on the move - and remains so
Congratulations on 'Burgundian Sports'!
