Ongoing: A Literary Tour of the Westelijke Eilanden Six Saturdays between April 2008 & April 2009 De Woordensmederij, Amsterdam In conjunction with World Book Capital, De Woordensmederij will offer a tour of Amsterdam's Western Islands. Built in the early 17th century, the history of these islands is Amsterdam's history in miniature, mirroring the economic, social and literary history of the city and its tolerant, creative peoples. We will offer a 30-minute walking tour of the three Westelijke Eilanden – the Prinseneiland, the Bickerseiland and the Reaeleneiland – celebrating the literary, social, industrial and architectural history of these man-made islands near Amsterdam's Centraal Station on six Saturdays between April 2008 and April 2009: April 26th, May 24th, September 6th and September 20th in 2008 and March 21st and April 18th in 2009. The tours will begin at De Woordensmederij on the Bickersgracht and end with a borrel. Residents real and fictional will regale tour-takers with readings (in Dutch and English) from literature such as Jan Mens' De Gouden Reael and Philip Snijder's recent Zondagsgeld. A small fee (€5) will include both a keepsake volume of images and prose from the tour as well as the post-tour borrel. For more information and registration surf to www.dewoordensmederij.nl.
