edit data

I'm a Dutchman with a passion for animation film. Since 2009 I write for my own blog on animation films called Dr. Grob’s Animation Review, which now has over 1,500 entries and 5,000 visitors a month.

As a reader I aim to read a great variety of books, from all ages and continents. I particularly favor tales that have inspired other artists like painters, composers and film makers.

interests: animation film, astronomy, classics, European comics, evolution, graphic novels, history, literature, music, mythology, paleontology, poetry, science, silent cinema ...more

Gijs Grob and 4 other people liked Linda Duits's review of What We Can Know: "Very clever premise, brilliantly executed in part I. Part II then sets out almost anew, a great surprise to my great surprise, making the whole set-up even more clever and brilliant. Loved every bit. "
