Plenty of young adult science fiction, with Thea Beckman and the Euro 5 series being particular favourites of mine, but not many writers of grownup science fiction. Most sf publishers rather translated cheaper British or American science fiction than gamble on a Dutch or Belgian author. Better get some more Van Vogt instead.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd to a certain extend, especially once I started reading English good, there was the cultural cringe. It all seemed a bit less interesting, a bit more naff when written in Dutch. It just doesn&#8217;t have the grandiosity or bombast of English and attempts to achieve the same effects usually end up sounding corny or fake. So while there were a couple of authors I liked, Wim Gijssen and especially Belgian author Eddy C. Bertin, I haven&#8217;t attempted to keep up with Dutch science fiction at all.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"\/books2\/2014\/09\/zwarte-sterren-roelof-goudriaan-editor\/\">Until the recent Worldcon that is<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zwarte Sterren Roelof Goudriaan (editor) 209 pages published in 2005 Growing up in the Netherlands I of course read a lot of science fiction in Dutch, but never read much Dutch science fiction, if only because there wasn&#8217;t that much in the first place.
