From February through June 2010, Stephan Sanders accepted the invitation of the city council of Almere to live there as a writer in residence. So, Sanders took up residence there at a distance of just 33.7 kilometers from his home in Amsterdam (p.26).
Stephan Sanders is a cosmopolitan Dutch citizen, openly gay, and deeply involved in the Dutch cultural scene as an author, freelance journalist, and TV & Radio host. Having suffered from a serious depression, Sanders' writings in the past three years seem more than previously concerned with looking for identity. Iets meer dan een seizoen. Memoir already belongs to his best writing.
Apparently very comfortable with his identity as a gay man, Sanders' writing shows that his reflections on identity are more focused on his ethnic background, as already became clear, in Zon, zee, oorlog. Reisverhalen & introspecties (reviewed here). Of mixed parentage his biological father being a South African Coloured, Stephan Sanders was adopted and raised in the Netherlands by Dutch foster parents. In Zon, zee, oorlog. Reisverhalen & introspecties (2007), Sanders explored his ethnic roots in South Africa and Surinam.
In Iets meer dan een seizoen. Memoir Stephan Sanders search for his own identity is contrasted with reflections on the life of his close friend Anil Ramdas, who settled in the Netherlands in 1977, shortly after the independence of Surinam. Anil Ramdas, born in Paramaribo, was a Dutch-Surinam essayist, journalist and TV host, with whom Sanders often worked together. Ramdas' took his own life on 16 February 2012.
Iets meer dan een seizoen. Memoir described the hopes and dreams of Anil Ramdas with respect to racial integration and the emancipation of the Surinam ethnic minority in the Netherlands. The cultural and political climate in the Netherlands was very positive and optimistic throughout the 1980s and early 1990s. As friends, Sanders and Ramdas traveled together to the Dutch Antilles and Surinam. They shared many ideas and dreams, by their shared ethnic and cultural background.
In Iets meer dan een seizoen. Memoir, the three story-lines, the development of the city of Almere, the life of Anil Ramdas and the life of Stephan Sanders are brought together, and cleverly entwined. The book is a profound reflection on the cultural identity of ethnic minorities in the Netherlands. Highly recommended.… (meer)
