If you don't read Dutch, you'll probably feel out of your depth 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 John Eliot Gardiner, Carla del Ponte, Eric Kandel and Stephen Fry.
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 or helped translate. The links (except those for Gormenghast) will take you to the Dutch part of the site.
