 | | Gerard Reve, born in 1923 as Gerard Kornelis van het Reve, is Holland's best known, most popular, and most controversial gay writer. |
 | | Instead, Reve revealed himself as a great narrator of homosexual fantasies, which some critics thought to be rather pornographic. |
 | | Reve's most recent novel, Bezorgde Ouders (Parent's Worry [1988]), incorporates all the major themes of his works, including "Revism," which refers to the act of seducing a beautiful boy with the intention to offer and sacrifice him in a sadistic way to one's own lover. |
