In the TV program 'Mies en scène' Mies Bouwman interviewed Godfried Bomans on December 30, 1966. With a great sense of humor and an indestructible irony he answered the following questions: - do you value popularity? - what do you have in your pockets? - what mistakes do the Dutch people have? - what was your strangest dream? - what was the most important event last year according to you? - what is humor? Bomans was the most widely read writer in the Netherlands for many years. He has more than 60 books and many other writings to his name. He received little official recognition during his lifetime, at least not in the form of a literary prize. Bomans died on December 22, 1971 at the age of 58 from a heart attack. Mies Bouwman died on February 26, 2018 at the age of 88.
