Dutch writing in English - An appreciation

Deze groep is officieel gaan sluimeren. Zo gaat dat. bekijk deze pagina als je deze groep nieuw leven in wilt blazen, of een nieuwe groep met hetzelfde onderwerp wilt starten.

As a bit of a Netherlandophile I have read quite a few books by Dutch writers and thought it might be nice to exchange views and hopefully learn of new one’s I hadn’t heard of.

I thought I’d start by having threads for some of the writers I have enjoyed (or plan to enjoy) both fiction and non-fiction, and also a thread for works written by non-Dutch writers who write about the Netherlands. Then if there are any Dutch members to the group perhaps they will give us some input about how authentic the writers have been.

I shall also start a thread for biographies and histories related to the Dutch. And a thread for art.

I have to own that I haven’t read all the books in the photo, and most of the others need re-reading with a more alert eye before I can contribute fully, but I shall enjoy doing so over the coming months.
