Each book is a danger. This title is a reference to an essay written by Andreas Burnier. Upon her death in 2002, it was found that at that time no single work of Burnier was in print, and publishers rushed to reprint some of her works. Also, a compilation of interviews, letters, essays and fragments was compiled, and published under the title Een gevaar dat de ziel in wil. Essays, brieven en interviews 1965-2002: A danger that wants to enter the soul.

As well as both taking their titles from the same source, nl Each book is a danger that wants to enter the soul, these two books are companion volumes, both compilations of interviews, letters, fragments and essays.

Elk boek is een gevaar is published in the prestigious Prive Domein series, 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. Elk boek is een gevaar is a new variant in this genre in the sense that it is a selection made by an external editor, rather than the author, and that the author has not willed or consented to the publication of these materials. Although this does not seem so unusual, the current edition does seem to include a lot of material of very questionable quality. It isn't difficult to imagine that the original author would have second thoughts about publishing these materials.

In the introduction, the editor, Ronit Palache, explains how she dug into and read every scrap of paper in the archive of Andreas Burnier before starting with her selection. This thoroughness suggests that she intended to get to the core, to reveal the essence of Burnier. The selection reads like a toppled archive. It seems to consist of rare and unusual letters and fragments which likely were never intended for publication. Much of the material is extremely boring. This is the selection of someone who was obsessed with her subject, who wanted to prove something (to herself) or who may have been asked to dig up material which was previously unpublished, and had better remained that way. I can, proverbially, imagine the author turning over in her grave.

Published in 1965, this is the earliest novel by the Dutch author Andreas Burnier. A short, but interesting novel that seems to play with the concept of gender. Although I had to read some passages twice, I enjoyed this.

Het gaat over een Joods meisje tijdens de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Het verhaal wordt van achteren naar voren verteld. De reden hiervan is mij niet duidelijk. Je geheugen werkt volgens mij niet op deze manier. Ik herinner me altijd fragmenten uit het verleden. Het gaat ook over een puberteit. Simone wil helemaal geen vrouw worden, maar een jongen. Dit aspect van het verhaal vind ik het beste uitgewerkt.

Over het algemeen vind ik de gedachen die Simone heeft te volwassen overkomen. Als ze het woord 'masturbatie' spelt als 'masturbantie' moet dat kennelijk iets weergeven van haar jeugd. Met woorden als 'Nietzsche' en 'bourgeois kapitalisten' schijnt ze geen moeite te hebben. Daarnaast vind ik haar opstandigheid, feminisme, te zeer door de schrijfster opgelegd. Als dit een autobiografisch verhaal is, lijkt me dat te veel op 'wishful thinking'.

Het consequent spellen met een kleine letter van woorden als 'Duitsland', 'Duitser' en 'Duitse' vind ik een beetje flauw. De precieze bedoeling van dit trucje ontgaat me. Moet ik me er aan storen? Is het om duidelijk te maken dat Duitsers minderwaardig zijn? Geen al te imponerend boek.
