Description:

After the publication of his debut From Santander to Santander, which was reviewed very favourably and of which more than ten thousand copies have been sold, Peter Winnen was asked by NRC Handelsblad to write sports columns. He was given the space to not only talk about cycling, but also about other sports such as skating and football. In addition, there is room for philosophical musings about the death and life of a sports hero in his twilight years. Peter Winnen shows himself, just like in his debut, to be a gifted and careful stylist, with a keen eye for detail. Without any detours, he always manages to get to the heart of the matter. The pieces in Valse start are therefore true gems, for everyone who loves beautiful sports and literature.
