If you don't read Dutch, you'll probably feel out of place on these pages. The only comfort I can offer is to say that I'm an experienced translator by now. For seven years I've been seriously involved with the great writer Mervyn Peake - though he was since long dead by that time. Later on, I translated books by such diverse literary figures as Donald Mitchell, Carla del Ponte, Eric Siblin and Alexander Waugh. The latter two may feel inclined to comment on my work, or on the way I kept bothering them with questions.
My Dutch, by the way, is far better than my English. So I hope there's some sort of recommendation in all of this.
Here's a list of the books I translated. The links (except those for Gormenghast) will take you to the Dutch part of the site.
