Vandenb scores again

Walter V.’s second novel, ‘West‘, is out. I
couldn’t make it to his book launch due to work, so I’m going to buy one
from Scheltema today to help keep it in the Top 10, like he asks on his blog. (There’s absolutely no shame in being a hoor and the oh-so-cool detractors should lighten up.) He’s getting really
good reviews (one reviewer said it was free of the Dutch smell of
sprouts and on par with American writers’ style). Walter ‘started’
writing his tales of Amsterdam suburbia on his personal site around the turn
of the century. It’s great to see him succeed like this and I can’t wait to read the book. Cult of the amateur, pah!
