The grapevine plays an important role in the novel Weinkrampf!. Peter Schlemihl will sometimes dwell about Dutch tabloids like Story and the Privé. The in these gossip magazines portrait artists and well known dutchmen like Linda de Mol, Albert Verlinde and Gordon with his Toppers, form a welcome conversation topic in the novel Weinkrampf!. The story is sometimes an inextracible tangle of fact, fiction, gossip and fantasy. Sometimes certain episodes looks like coming from the tabloids themselves. But also socalled critical cabaret performers don't escape the fileting knife used by Peter Schlemihl in Weinkrampf!.

The novel makes a hilarious record of todays Holland: a country torn apart in politics and religion. Most books have a certain theme, also Weinkrampf!. Perhaps there is even talk of more then one theme, subthemes so to say. But there is only one central theme. When as a reader you think about the book, you know inmediately that the whole book is about the journey to the springs of evil, the evil in man and the evil in the history of mankind, all parts of the story are part of that one thing.

This evil is being symbolized by the dealing of the writer Peter Schlemihl with a second book in Weinkrampf!: Adolf Hitlers political manifesto Mein Kampf. Maybe the most notorious book of the last century and still forbidden in many countries. A lof of people have an opinion about this book, but few have ever red it. Peter Schlemihl is going over the book, while sailing in the direction of the springs of evil in the rubber dinghy of Survival.org., from the end to the beginning.

The participants, jews from Amsterdam are not in the least insulted, after all they have chosen for the theme of "war" at Survival.org.
