Editor's Note:
Voordat A.L. Snijders zijn naam vestigde als de godfather van het door hemzelf in het leven geroepen subgenre van het ZKV – het Zeer Korte Verhaal – schreef hij columns voor Het Parool. Samen met de begeleidende brieven aan de redactie, die integraal in deze bundel zijn opgenomen, bieden de columns in Ruim water een fascinerende inkijk in het schrijverschap van de ‘Meester in de Beperking’, zoals Snijders werd geëerd toen hem in 2010 de Constantijn Huygensprijs werd toegekend. Snijders weet als geen ander het alledaagse tot literatuur te transformeren, en andersom. Want wie anders dan A.L. Snijders ziet zelfs nog poëzie in het koken van een artisjok?
