In this episode, I'm in conversation with Martijn Meerts, the co-director of the American Book Center in Amsterdam. Martijn's anthropology background subtly colors his approach to this role, and he shares how it adds a unique perspective to his daily work. We also uncover the enchanting history of the American Book Center, originally founded by Lynn Kaplanian-Buller and her husband, and how it has joyfully remained in the family for generations.
Martijn shares his love of The Hague and Amsterdam, capturing the essence of these cities' book culture and vibrant atmosphere. From the serenity of the canals to the artistic treasures of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam offers a backdrop to our discussions on literature's role in these communities. Martijn shares insights into the growing fascination with cozy crime novels and beloved Dutch children's stories, including the iconic Miffy series. Our episode serves as a tribute to the creative energy that buzzes through these cities and a celebration of the American Book Center's role at the heart of it all.
