Overview

In 1994, author Greg Shapiro came to the Netherlands. The idea was to spend a while doing comedy for a start-up theater called Boom Chicago, but he stayed for love. That was the start of a cultural adventure, with incidents and elements that anyone who spends some time in the Netherlands is bound to recognize. Covering topics that range from places he lived in - and what each of these places taught him about the Dutch - to the social issues such as Zwarte Piet, Dutch meetings, trying to make sense in Dutch, and Bike Etiquette, The American Netherlander is just too much fun to put down.

Author Information

Greg Shapiro is a loud American, trying to fit into a tiny Dutch country. He originally came to work for a few months at a comedy theater, but met a Dutch woman and never managed to go back. Dutch people like to tease him for his loud voice, his awkward Dutch and his Americanness. Greg has learned to beat them to the punch: he makes fun of his own country first. Then he makes fun of theirs.
