J. J. Voskuil

Johannes Jacobus (Han) Voskuil (Den Haag, 1 juli 1926 – Amsterdam, 1 mei 2008) was een Nederlands volkskundige en schrijver van romans en korte schetsen.

Voskuil was de oudste zoon van Klaas Voskuil (1895-1975), bij leven hoofdredacteur van Het Vrije Volk, die vooral bekendheid genoot door zijn VARA-radiorubriek Socialistisch Commentaar. J.J. Voskuil is vernoemd naar zijn grootvader Johannes Jacobus Voskuil, die bakker was te Zwolle.

Na zijn studie Nederlandse taal- en letterkunde aan de Gemeentelijke Universiteit in Amsterdam werkte Voskuil als vertaler bij de EGKS in Straatsburg en vervolgens in het seizoen 1955/56 als leraar aan een kweekschool in de stad Groningen. Teruggekeerd in Amsterdam werkte hij als student-assistent mee aan een uitgave van de werken van P.C. Hooft. In 1957 trad hij in dienst bij het Instituut voor Dialectologie, Volks- en Naamkunde, het tegenwoordige Meertens Instituut.

Voskuil was getrouwd met Lousje Haspers. Beiden waren dierenbeschermers. In 1997 richtte Voskuil de dierenwelzijnsorganisatie Stichting Varkens in Nood op, gesteund door o.a. de schrijver Koos van Zomeren. Veel elementen uit het persoonlijke leven van het echtpaar, zoals het niet willen bezitten van een auto, het hebben van katten, het wonen aan de Lijnbaansgracht nr. 84-hs (1956-1969) en de Herengracht nr. 60 (1969-2008) in Amsterdam, hun wandelvakanties in Auvergne, staan beschreven in zijn boeken.

Na een langdurige ziekte besloot Voskuil tot euthanasie. Hij stierf thuis op 1 mei 2008, Dag van de Arbeid. Op 8 mei 2008 werd hij begraven op Oud Eik en Duinen in Den Haag.
