Stitou gained huge acclaim upon his entry into the Dutch literary scene at the age of 19 (anecdotally, the poet Remco Campert stood up at Stitou's performance debut in 1994 and shouted, "finally, a poet again!"). He pulls together east and west in incredible, unexpected ways often through absurd, free-form, everyday-life comparisons that are both deeply philosophical and accessible (from religion to sex to chicken and fries on the street).
