Mensje van Keulen and Japke-d. Bouma to Write for Boekenweek 2027
Mensje van Keulen will write the 2027 Boekenweekgeschenk, while Japke-d. Bouma will author the theme publication for the upcoming year. The CPNB announced that the 92nd Boekenweek, held from March 10 to 21, 2027, will focus on the theme "Look at Us Now," exploring human behavior and the mirrors writers hold up to readers. Van Keulen expressed surprise but immediate acceptance, noting that a character encouraged her to proceed. The 80-year-old author, known for classics like Bleekers zomer, stated the book serves as an entry ticket to many museums on the final Sunday of the week.
