Description:
On television, art historian Robert van Noorden once fiercely and idiosyncratically explained what is beautiful, and why. He was immediately asked everywhere for lectures, presentations and interviews. He quickly became one of those men who has an opinion about everything, regardless of the subject. As long as he talks, with that idiosyncrasy of his. His profession fades into the background, Van Noorden is addicted to his new status and the existence that comes with it.
But there is something going on that worries him. At first it is only palpable and then suddenly it is emphatically present. A woman comes into his life who fascinates him and who he wants to keep at a distance but then again he doesn't. She triggers something in him that he doesn't know what to do with, unravels a secret that is getting closer and closer and is dangerous. It haunts him.
Vanished Time is an exciting, melancholic and hilarious novel that is ultimately about the question of to what extent you really know yourself.


'Verbogt writes really good dialogues, he writes on the heart, his books are permeated with melancholy and wistfulness that never become silky. Verbogt's novels are pleasantly light in tone. It is beautiful work.' Maarten Moll, Het Parool
