Encountering Dutch Writers: Tommy Wierenga

This is the second in a series of interviews I did in Amsterdam last month with some of the writers featured in new city-pick Amsterdam book, which provides a writer's-eye perspective on the city.

In this interview, Tommy Wieringa tells me about coming to Holland from the Caribbean as a child and writing his bestselling novel, Joe Speedboat.
