Description:
What's on a man's mind? According to Freud, 'the man' only thought about sex. Maybe he. Maybe then. The modern 21st century man has so much more on his mind. What doesn't come blowing in one day, via email, the nursery, the camping site, the marital bed, the parents' evening, or an adjacent table in a restaurant. Information that all has to be stored. While there is already so much in that head: beautiful memories, interesting thoughts, but above all a lot of folders of trivia. Jan Eilander tries to create order in the chaos in this book. In a series of candid tragicomic stories he goes in search of the once so empty and sunny head from his youth. What's on a man's mind? is about the extended boy's life on a rock stage and the battle against old age on a rowing machine. About childhood heroes (Brood, Cruijff) and pets (Borrie, Kobus). About the dreamed romance of boat dwellers and the hell of a family camping site. About beer cravings and the song of life. About beautiful windy Saturday mornings on a football field and a midlife crisis in New York. About his wife, his son, his polder youth and much more.
