On Saturday 13 April 2019 I presented De Batavier at the De Kler booksellers in Breestraat in Leiden. There was a surprising turnout and in the end quite a few copies went over the counter.
After introduction by Hanneke Tinor-Centi, my literary agent,
I told my story, which takes about fifteen minutes. The reactions were heart-warming, some old acquaintances and totally unknown visitors came to have me sign a copy. Below are some pictures, once more. *
The local press
An interesting piece of news is that a local newspaper,
Leidsch Dagblad, gave me an interview, which will be published in their cultural column 'Heilig Vuur' (
The Holy Fire), on April 24th.
More presentations and signing sessions will follow in due course. Further information will follow.
