Thomas Heerma van Voss
(The Netherlands,1990) is a writer of novels, short stories, reviews and essays. He made his debut at the age of 19 with the novel De Allestafel. This was followed by the highly acclaimed novels Stern (2013) and Condities (2020). In Condities, Vincent Pek has been struggling for years with a book that refuses to come together and battling an illness that refuses to go away. He decides to seek refuge in a last resort: writing about his chronic condition. His novel Het archief (The Archive, 2024) is partly based on his experiences as an editor of the literary magazine De Revisor. It also deals with illness and the decline of loved ones, and how to relate to something that is disappearing. In 2025, De prullenbak heeft veel plezier aan mij (The wastepaper basket enjoys me) was published, for which Heerma van Voss interviewed writers Judith Herzberg, Jan Siebelink and Mensje van Keulen, among others.
