If you don't read Dutch, you'll probably feel out of place on these pages. To put you at ease, I can say that I'm by now an experienced translator. I worked with the great writer Mervyn Peake for seven years, though he was since long dead by that time - but that's how it felt. 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 nagged them.
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. Clicking the images (except the Gormenghast one) will take you to the Dutch part of the site.
