Write
Since the seventies I wrote a few books that were published by small publishers, such as ‘The blue-white foam’ and: ‘The history of the Liberal Jewish Community of Arnhem’ (now: Gelderland ).
At the same time, also short stories, which appeared in short story collections and, among others, in NRC Handelsblad, Trouw, Vrij Nederland and in the Literary e-zine MEANDER.
Since 2013 I have been an author at Uitgeverij Meulenhoff Boekerij
