Otto de Kat (The Netherlands): Man on the Move
Translation: Sam Garrett, Maclehose Press, 2009
Otto de Kat (b. 1946) is a former Dutch publisher and writer. His novel Man on the Move (translation by Sam Garrett, Maclehose Press, 2009) is an original exploration of the universal themes of friendship, family and identity set against the horrors of WWII in the Pacific, reminiscent of Camus' The Outsider. "A melancholic masterpiece", Peter Henning, Basler Zeitung.
British Library, Conference Centre
The British Library is, as national libraries go, relatively young. Its roots lie in the report of the National Libraries Committee issued in 1969. This was followed by a White Paper recommending the setting up of a national library for the UK ('the British Library'). In 1972 The British Library Act was passed by Parliament, bringing the Library into operation with effect from 1 July 1973.
