About the Book

Deze autobiografische roman geeft een openhartige blik in het leven van een homoseksuele man die niet bang is het avontuur aan te gaan in een ver land. Terugkijkend op een turbulente tijd in zijn leven als gay op de Filipijnen, vertelt Frans van Liempt in Kalapati in soms rauwe bewoordingen over bedrog, lust en complete ontreddering.

Na een aantal zorgeloze jaren op de Filipijnen verhuist Frans naar een andere stad om daar met een vriend een eetcafé op te zetten. Zijn partner, die hij op dat moment al zes jaar heeft, is niet erg behulpzaam en uiteindelijk blijft Frans alleen achter. Wanneer hij dan ook nog tegen allerlei ingewikkelde zaken aanloopt en zich op anderen verlaat, raakt hij alles kwijt en valt hij in een diep, duister gat. Frans ziet nog maar één uitweg, maar zelfs daarin faalt hij. Een harde leerschool volgt en beetje bij beetje begint voor Frans het licht weer te schijnen.


About the Author: Frans van Liempt werd geboren in Haarlem op 17 juli 1956. Na de mavo wilde hij niet verder studeren. Na twee kantoorbanen had hij ook daar schoon genoeg van en aanvaardde hij diverse kleine baantjes in winkeltjes en bars. Door zijn vader maakte hij kennis met de fotografie en al spoedig trachtte hij als freelance fotograaf een bestaan op te bouwen. Dit liep niet geheel naar wens en hij nam een baan aan als medisch fotograaf. Na een jaar startte hij de opleiding verpleging, maar ook daar vond hij het niet. Werken in de thuiszorg beviel hem beter.

In 2006 vertrok hij naar de Filipijnen om er samen te gaan wonen met een vriend. Na enige turbulente jaren woont hij nog steeds op de Filipijnen.

Kalapati is zijn debuutroman.
