\u2018Mario Molegraaf has completed his long-awaited biography of the man with whom he shared his life. An unusual undertaking: a biography like any other, with all the accompanying research and independence required, but at the same time a work written out of love.<\/p>\n

The collected poems of Hans Warren (1921-2001) were dominated by his life motto: \u2018As long as it lasts, happy forever.\u2019 But he especially made a name for himself with his unprecedentedly candid Secret Diary, one of the biggest literary sensations of recent decades.<\/p>\n

Incredibly, secrets can still be revealed in Upper Skin Man. Hans Warren, raised in a house by the sea, far from the inhabited world, was an outsider par excellence, but he turns out to be a centre point at the same time. No one experienced the occupation years, the 1953 flood, the destruction of Dutch nature like he did. The contradictions in person – housefather and gay, a life between Borssele and Paris – are described by Mario Molegraaf in Upper Skin Man with unprecedented commitment and intensity.\u2019<\/p>\n

The book was published in hardcover last September by Prometheus Publishers and can be purchased here<\/a> (Dutch only).<\/p>\n
