Southern Hiking Trail

Literary walk through the Amsterdam Rivierenbuurt with Paul Gellings and Jos Wiersema. Paul Gellings quotes from his novel Southern Hiking Trail. Jos took the pictures.

Description of contents

As in his acclaimed novel White Horses , Paul Gellings shows himself to be a master of memory again in Southern Hiking Trail . In his new novel, he takes the reader to the Amsterdam-Zuid of his youth, the neighborhood where Anne Frank lived, ten years before he was born there, and where there is still a smell of fear and collaboration.
The narrator of history has a special memory of one figure, Leonard Grûnewald. Things happened to Leonard at the time that the main character still can't understand and wants to come to terms with himself.
