With a glass of white wine - or two - we celebrated the historic moment yesterday afternoon, in my publisher's office at an Amsterdam canal. Finally my book is out: it came from the printer's on Monday. Een nacht in een vijzel is available in the book shops today. Official presentation is next Wednesday. After the Chardonnay at Artemis many more drinks were to follow, as well as an excellent Ethiopian meal in Kilimanjaro restaurant. All in the company of photographer Caro Bonink, who took this picture of me just before dinner. To the non-Dutch readers who keep asking me when my book is going to appear in English, I can just say: be patient... I am sure in due course a publisher will be interested in translating it.
