Description:
Stories are emerging all over the big city. About the KOMO millionaires who dig for treasure in other people's household waste at night. About the man who cleans the parking meters, about the new Belhuizen district, the non-stop porn paradise, chalking for peace. About swimming afternoons for dogs. These are the small stories from the big city.
This collection represents a literary form of journalism that seems to have become rare in the Netherlands: where others walk on, these authors stand still. Where others see nothing remarkable, these reporters perceive an interesting detail from the corner of their eye. They ask questions that we have forgotten to ask: who is that? What is he doing? And why?
You are here: among all those wandering souls, who live their lives in their own idiosyncratic way in the familiar yet strange world that is the big city.
You are here contains stories by Margit Willems, Rob van Erkelens, Hugo Jetten, Ferry Wieringa, Janneke Donkerlo, Jorie Horsthuis, Jan-Maarten Buissant and others.
The stories were previously published in the Amsterdam street magazine Z.
