Literary synopsis *Ik, Jan Cremer* ends with the words “to be continued“, and indeed a short time after the bulkier *Ik, Jan Cremer 2* followed. Those who were expecting to pick up the thread would be disappointed. It is a very different book. *Ik, Jan Cremer 2* is more than a witty picaresque of a motorbike hero. The fury of the first part is missing, the violence is often funny as grotesque, comic book-like and the sex scenes are humorous, flat and pornographic. The book is much more disorganized than *Ik, Jan Cremer*. All kinds of fragments are coursing through each other. The whole book is one big juxtaposition in which the literary fragments are easily disassociated. [Novel website](http://www.jancremer.com/index.php?subpage=books/&page=book11)

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
