«As in tas» is the autobiographical travel account by Jelle Brandt Corstius, published by Das Mag Uitgeverij B.V. in paperback (150 pages, in Dutch).
With part of his father's ashes in his saddlebag, Jelle Brandt Corstius cycles the 1,620 kilometres between Amsterdam and the Mediterranean coast. Over sixteen days, his account combines grief, memories of his father's spring excursions and mishaps narrated in a personal, absurd tone.
The journey described in the book began on 18 April 2014, two months after the death of Hugo Brandt Corstius. The work was nominated for the Publieksprijs voor het Nederlandse Boek in 2016.
For readers of memoirs and travel literature, particularly those interested in Dutch narrative and stories about grief and fatherhood.
